Minilibx is a very basic graphical library written in C used in 42

and in Epitech for infography project.

## Steps :

### Update/upgrade your system:

* apt-get update

* apt-get upgrade

### Install the following packages:

* apt install libx11-dev

* apt install libxext-dev

* apt install libbsd-dev

* apt install clang

## Get minilibx sources:

```

git clone https://github.com/42Paris/minilibx-linux minilibx_linux

```

#### Compile and install mlx.a in minilibx_linux with

* cd minilibx_linux; make && sudo ./configure

#### Change MLXFLAGS in your makefile to:

* MLXFLAG = -lmlx -lXext -lX11

## Notes for windows

```

* install ubuntu terminal (or other distribution linux ) on windows 10 from windows store

* do the previous steps + you have to install gcc and make

```

### Graphical programs

to run graphical programs on your windows 10 desktop

you need a GUI server, such as X11. Such doesn’t not exist for Windows,

but there are alternatives, one of which is Xming, which can be downloaded

free of charge, from [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/) (set private when ask)

then enable bash to use xming which can be done by typing the following line

```

echo "export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0" >> ~/.bashrc

```

its preferable to launch xming automatically after boot, move xming program to the following repo:

* C:\Users\login\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

- after adding variables such DISPLAY, open a new bash session by typing

```

 bash

```

or

```

 source ~/.bashrc

```

### Extra notes:

* the process is explained using bash shell, you should modify it by whatever shell you are using (zsh, sh, ..)

* for events management, the mask should be (1L << 0) instead of 0

```

mlx_hook(p.win_ptr, 2, (1L << 0), ft_event_keys, &p);

```

* to simplify the usage of keys macros in mac os and linux, include key_macos.h and key_linux.h files:

```

# if defined(__APPLE__)

#  include 

# else

#  include 

# endif

```
