GUI Automation Functionality for Crystal by linking with X11 C bindings.

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     crystal-autogui:
       github: hrichharms/crystal-autogui

2. Run shards install

Building C Object Files

Since crystal doesn't have native bindings to the required header files, crystal-autogui requires linked C code. In order to link the X11 api-interacting C code with the crystal code, the c source file must be compiled to object files as follows:

screen.c -> screen.o

gcc -c screen.c -o screen.o -lX11

mouse.c -> mouse.o

gcc -c mouse.c -o mouse.o -lX11 -lXtst

keyboard.c -> keyboard.o

gcc -c keyboard.c -o keyboard.o -lX11 -lXtst
