NAME
       freetype-config - Get information about a libfreetype installation

SYNOPSIS
       freetype-config [options]

DESCRIPTION
       freetype-config	returns  information  needed for compiling and linking
       programs with the FreeType library, such as linker flags  and  compila-
       tion  parameters.   Alternatively,  it can be used to query information
       about the FreeType library version installed on the system, such as the
       installation (directory path) prefix or the FreeType version number.

       If  pkg-config(1) is found in the path, freetype-config acts as a wrap-
       per for pkg-config.

       This program is part of the FreeType package.

OPTIONS
       There are two types of options: output/display selection  options,  and
       path override options.

   Output selection options
       Only  one  of the output selection options should be given at each pro-
       gram invocation.

       --prefix
	      Return the prefix value of the installed FreeType  library  (the
	      default  prefix  will  be `/usr' in most cases for distribution-
	      installed packages).

       --exec-prefix
	      Return the executable prefix value  of  the  installed  FreeType
	      library (will often be the same as the prefix value).

       --ftversion
	      Return  the  FreeType version number, directly derived from file
	      `freetype.h'.

       --version
	      Return the `libtool version' of the FreeType library.

       --libtool
	      Return the library name for linking with libtool.

       --libs Return compiler flags for linking with  the  installed  FreeType
	      library.

       --cflags
	      Return  compiler	flags  for  compiling  against	the  installed
	      FreeType library.

       --static
	      Make command line options display flags for static linking.

       --help Show help and exit.

   Path override options
       These affect any selected output option,  except  the  libtool  version
       returned by --version.

       --prefix=PREFIX
	      Override --prefix value with PREFIX.  This also sets --exec-pre-
	      fix=PREFIX if option --exec-prefix is not explicitly given.

       --exec-prefix=EPREFIX
	      Override --exec-prefix value with EPREFIX.

BUGS
       In case the libraries FreeType links to	are  located  in  non-standard
       directories, and pkg-config(1) is not available, the output from option
       --libs might be incomplete.  It is thus recommended to use the pkg-con-
       fig(1) interface instead, which is able to correctly resolve all depen-
       dencies.

       Setting --exec-prefix (either explicitly or  implicitly)  might	return
       incorrect  results  if combined with option --static.  The same problem
       can occur if you set the SYSROOT environment variable.
