[![Build](https://github.com/42Paris/minilibx-linux/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/42Paris/minilibx-linux/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
This is the MinilibX, a simple X-Window (X11R6) programming API
in C, designed for students, suitable for X-beginners.
Contents
- source code in C to create the mlx library
- man pages (in man/ directory)
- a test program (in test/ directory) is built
with the library
- a public include file mlx.h
- a tiny configure script to generate an appropriate Makefile.gen
Requirements for Linux
- MinilibX only support TrueColor visual type (8,15,16,24 or 32 bits depth)
- gcc
- make
- X11 include files (package xorg)
- XShm extension must be present (package libxext-dev)
- Utility functions from BSD systems - development files (package libbsd-dev)
- **e.g. _sudo apt-get install gcc make xorg libxext-dev libbsd-dev_ (Debian/Ubuntu)**
Requirements for MacOS
- [Xquartz](https://www.xquartz.org/)
```bash
➜ ~ Brew install Xquartz
➜ ~ reboot
➜ ~ xeyes # run an hello world X11 app
```
MlX Color Opacity / Transparency / Alpha (32 bits depth)
- 0xFF (fully transparent) or 0x00 (fully opaque)
Compile MinilibX
- run ./configure or make
both will make a few tests, create Makefile.gen
and then automatically run make on this generated Makefile.gen .
libmlx.a and libmlx_$(HOSTTYPE).a are created.
test/mlx-test binary is also created.
Install MinilibX
- no installation script is provided. You may want to install
- libmlx.a and/or libmlx_$(HOSTTYPE).a in /usr/X11/lib or /usr/local/lib
- mlx.h in /usr/X11/include or /usr/local/include
- man/man3/mlx*.1 in /usr/X11/man/man3 or /usr/local/man/man3
