🖌️MiniLibX

Introduction

In this pages I will cover some information about MiniLibX, the library you'll be using for (at least) the three rank 2 graphical project (so_long, FdF, Fract-ol).

I found most of the information I needed to use MiniLibX on this page.

I didn't find much other documentation online, and this one has some examples on how to do the basics things but I'd like to improve some of their explanation a bit and add some more examples that I really missed when trying to understand better how MiniLibX works.

Installation

I did a big part of the project using MiniLibX on the school computer, so if you're running Window or Linux, go check this link to install it correctly on your machine.

Here's the Makefile I used for my so_long project (adapted a bit from the one I really used).

Makefile

NAME = so_long
SRC = $(addprefix src/, main.c utils.c draw.c map_parser.c path_checker.c game_utils.c map_parser_utils.c free.c)
GNL_SRC = $(addprefix gnl/, gnl.c gnl_utils.c)
PRINTF_SRC = $(addprefix ft_printf/, ft_print_c.c ft_print_d.c ft_print_p.c ft_print_s.c ft_print_u.c ft_print_x.c ft_printf.c)

OBJ := $(SRC:%.c=%.o)
GNL_OBJ := $(GNL_SRC:%.c=%.o)
PRINTF_OBJ := $(PRINTF_SRC:%.c=%.o)

CC = gcc
CCFLAGS = -Wextra -Wall -Werror

all: $(NAME)

$(NAME): $(OBJ) $(GNL_OBJ) $(PRINTF_OBJ)
    $(CC) $(CCFLAGS) $^ -Lmlx -lmlx -framework OpenGL -framework AppKit -o $(NAME)

%.o: %.c
	gcc $(CCFLAGS) -Imlx -Iincludes -c $< -o $@

clean:
	rm -f $(OBJ) $(GNL_OBJ) $(PRINTF_OBJ)

fclean: clean
	make clean -C mlx/
	rm -f $(NAME)
