YouWin

Embeddable c-callable Win32 API.

Graphical or Text (TTY) output,

One set of sources for your app, graphical or text.

any chip architecture, x86, x86_64, Arm, PPC32, etc...

Supported: OS/X, iOS, Android, Linux, additional platforms.

Build-time prerequisites

• bash - Attention OSX users, you must upgrade bash v3.x to v5.x

• gnu make

• imake

• makedepend

• gccmakedep

• windres (part of binutils and also MinGW)

  • LLVM's windres can be used instead, but clang must be present in this case

• MinGW (optional)

• a c++17 compiler

Target dependencies

Android

* android-ndk

iOS

* iOS Frameworks (xcode)

OpenGL

* Freeglut/glapi

X11

* libX11

Linux Framebuffer

* no dependancies

Text

* a 24 bit colour capable VT100 terminal program

Note:
When running a debug text-mode app,
you must redirect stderr to a file,
otherwise it will interfere with rendering the app.
Redirect stderr like so:

./app 2>debug_output.txt

You can
tail -f debug_output.txt
in another terminal to watch the debug info live.

Recommended development strategy:

Go to whichever folder you wish to work in (home is used here), retrieve the repository, and link it to /opt/youwin

cd ~
git get youwin
cd youwin/samples/madchatter
../../ywconfigure android|ios|opengl|text|xwin|lxfb [debug/release]
make depend (optional)
make

It is preferable to either add the youwin folder to the path or put a symlink to the ywconfigure command in a folder included in the path, but it is not necessary

Tools:

• dblog

  • A console application that displays the udptracer debug log information.

• dbwin

  • A graphical application that displays the udptracer debug log information.

• fontnab

  This tool permits grabbing (nabbing) any font from Windows.

  The situation with fonts:

  The fonts included were captured from a Linux distro and are thought to be copyright-free.

  • Courier
  • Fixedsys
  • MS Sans Serif
  • Small Fonts
  • System

  However, any font you have the legal right to can be used:

  fontnab -f fontname ...

  Permits you to extract installed font definitions and convert them into a text format that can be read by fntc.

• fntc

  • Font compiler, parses text definitions of fonts and turns them into binary objects.

• genasm

  • A command-line tool that generates an assembler file the compiler will link as a resource-segment.
