Minilibx fork

This is a fork of the MinilibX 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
