| 18 | returns information needed for compiling and linking programs with the |
| 19 | FreeType library, such as linker flags and compilation parameters. |
| 20 | . |
| 21 | Alternatively, it can be used to query information about the |
| 22 | FreeType library version installed on the system, such as the |
| 23 | installation (directory path) prefix or the FreeType version number. |
| 24 | . |

| 45 | . |
| 46 | .TP |
| 47 | .B \-\-exec-prefix |
| 48 | Return the executable prefix value of the installed FreeType library |

| Werner Lemberg | 476a766 | 2014-03-01 16:26:05 +0100 | [diff] [blame^] | 88 | .SH BUGS |
| 89 | In case the libraries FreeType links to are located in non-standard |
| 90 | directories, the output from option |
| 91 | .B \-\-libs |
| 92 | might be incomplete. |
| 93 | It is thus recommended to use the |
| 94 | .BR pkg-config (1) |
| 95 | interface instead, which is able to correctly resolve all dependencies. |
