Binding:
ADB, packaging android adb API.
Robotn, binding JavaScript and other, support more language.
Requirements:
Now, Please make sure Golang, GCC
is installed correctly before installing RobotGo.
ALL:
Golang
GCC
For Mac OS X:
Xcode Command Line Tools (And Privacy setting: #277 )
xcode-select --install
For Windows:
MinGW-w64 (Use recommended)
Or the other GCC (But you should compile the "libpng" with yourself when use the bitmap.)
For everything else:
GCC
X11 with the XTest extension (the Xtst library)
"Bitmap":
libpng (Just used by bitmap)
"Event":
xcb, xkb, libxkbcommon
"Clipboard":
xsel xclip
Ubuntu:
# gcc
sudo apt install gcc libc6-dev
# x11
sudo apt install libx11-dev xorg-dev libxtst-dev
# Bitmap
sudo apt install libpng++-dev
# Hook
sudo apt install xcb libxcb-xkb-dev x11-xkb-utils libx11-xcb-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev libxkbcommon-dev
# Clipboard
sudo apt install xsel xclip
Fedora:
sudo dnf install libXtst-devel
# Bitmap
sudo dnf install libpng-devel
# Hook
sudo dnf install libxkbcommon-devel libxkbcommon-x11-devel xorg-x11-xkb-utils-devel
# Clipboard
sudo dnf install xsel xclip
Installation:
With Go module support (Go 1.11+), just import:
import "github.com/go-vgo/robotgo"
Otherwise, to install the robotgo package, run the command:
go get github.com/go-vgo/robotgo
png.h: No such file or directory? Please see issues/47.
Update:
go get -u github.com/go-vgo/robotgo
Note go1.10.x C file compilation cache problem, golang #24355.
go mod vendor
problem, golang #26366.

CrossCompiling
Windows64 to windows32
SET CGO_ENABLED=1
SET GOARCH=386
go build main.go
Other to windows
Install Requirements (Ubuntu, Just used by bitmap.):
sudo apt install gcc-multilib
sudo apt install gcc-mingw-w64
# fix err: zlib.h: No such file or directory
sudo apt install libz-mingw-w64-dev
Build the binary:
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 CGO_ENABLED=1 CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc CXX=x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ go build -x ./
// CC=mingw-w64\x86_64-7.2.0-win32-seh-rt_v5-rev1\mingw64\bin\gcc.exe
// CXX=mingw-w64\x86_64-7.2.0-win32-seh-rt_v5-rev1\mingw64\bin\g++.exe
