C library to take screenshots in desktop environments. Currently only X11 (linux) is supported.
The simplest way if you use CMake is to copy the jv_screenshot folder into your source repository.
Then, in your CMakeLists.txt file, add the line add_subdirectory(path/to/jv_screenshot).
This will provide a target named jv_screenshot which you can use in target_link_libraries().
Alternatively, you can add jv_screenshot.c and jv_screenshot.h to your sources, and when compiling,
ensure to link to X11 library (with GCC, flag -lX11).
You will need CMake. Open a terminal in the root directory (where README.md is located)
and run the following commands:
mkdir build # create a subdirectory 'build' where compilation will occur
cd build # move to 'build' subdirectory
cmake .. # configure the project with the root CMakeLists.txt
cmake --build . # compile the project where we are (in 'build' subdirectory)
./jv_screenshot_example # run the resulting executableA file named screenshot.ppm should have appeared in the build subdirectory containing
a screenshot taken when the example was runned.
Currently, only X11 is supported. If you have skills in Windows programming, a Windows port would be appreciated. Any form of feedback is appreciated too.
