Documentation

Man pages: cherokee-config

This command-line tool is less known than the rest because it is to be used by system administrators and developers. There is not much to be added besides the syntax of the command. The main usage of this utility is determining the used flags during the compilation and linking process. This is useful to build programs that make use of Cherokee.

This is the full information provided by the manpage.

NAME

cherokee-config - script to get information about the installed version of Cherokee

SYNOPSIS

cherokee-config [--prefix=<DIR>] [--libs] [--cflags] [--version] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

cherokee-config is a tool that is used to determine the compile and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use Cherokee.

OPTIONS

cherokee-config accepts the following options:

--version: Print the currently installed version of CHEROKEE on the standard output.
--libs: Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a CHEROKEE program.
--cflags: Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a CHEROKEE program.
--prefix=PREFIX: If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that CHEROKEE was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.
