The libmediaart library is the foundation for media art caching,
extraction and lookup for applications on the desktop.

<title>Compiling applications</title>
<para>
To compile applications using libmediaart, you
need to tell the compiler where to find the proper header files
and libraries. This is done with the
<application>pkg-config</application> utility.
</para>
<para>
The following interactive shell session demonstrates how
<application>pkg-config</application> is used (the actual output on
your system may be different):
<programlisting>
$ pkg-config --cflags libmediaart-0.2
$ pkg-config --libs libmediaart-0.2
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
The simplest way to compile a program is to use the "backticks"
feature of the shell. If you enclose a command in backticks
(<emphasis>not single quotes</emphasis>), then its output will be
substituted into the command line before execution:
<programlisting>
$ cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs libmediaart-0.2` hello.c -o hello
</programlisting>
</para>
