[![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
