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 (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 <key_macos.h>
# else
# include <key_linux.h>
# endif
