# Minilibx fork This is a fork of the [MinilibX](https://github.com/42Paris/minilibx-linux) linux version. It was developed by Oliver CROUZET. It is licensed under the BSD license. The original README follows. # Original README 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 - 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)** 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 Olivier CROUZET - 2014-01-06 -
