Programming Tutorial

Frist you have to put a

#include <X11/Xcm/XcmVersion.h> 

in your source text, in order to use libXcm.

int main( int argc, char ** argv ) {
  int version = XCM_VERSION_NUM;
  return 0;
}

pkg-config –cflags xcm delivers the compiler flags and pkg-config –libs xcm the linker flags.

Then you can put libXcm functions in your code and compile with:

cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs xcm` mycode.c -o myApp 

to link libXcm into your application.
