+
+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
+ - X11 include files
+ - XShm extension must be present
+
+
+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
