openal-config - script to get information about the installed version of OpenAL

openal-config [ --prefix=DIR ] [ --exec-prefix=DIR ] [ --version ] [ --cflags ] [ --libs ]

openal-config is a tool that is used to configure and determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs and libraries that use OpenAL.

--cflags

Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program or library that uses OpenAL.

--exec-prefix=DIR

If specified, use DIR instead of the installation exec prefix that OpenAL was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any of the --cflags and --libs options.

--libs

Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program or library that uses OpenAL.

--prefix=DIR

If specified, use DIR instead of the installation prefix that OpenAL was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. If --exec-prefix was not specified, DIR is also used as exec prefix. This option must be specified before any of the --cflags and --libs options.

--version

Prints the currently installed version of OpenAL on standard output.

To compile a C source file for use in an executable program that uses OpenAL, type a command like this:

gcc $(sdl-config --cflags) -c main.c -o main.o

To link the resulting object file into an executable program, use a command like the following:

gcc -o my_app main.o util.o $(sdl-config --libs)
