An X11 library for LFE Machines

This library is based on Joe Armstrong's implementation of the X11 protocol for Erlang (and the subsequent work on it done by skvamme). As a nod to LFE's herritage, the project now uses the same name as the Lisp Machine windowing system.

Compatibility

This library is tested against the following:

• CI/CD: Ubuntu 16.04 and Erlang 19-23
• Local development:
  • x11vnc and Erlang 23 (Docker)
  • Debian 9 (Stretch) and Erlang 23

Development Environments

• Docker-based (running X11 and a VNC server)
• Debian-based
• RaspberryPi

Demos

Once you have an X11 environment up and running, you can run the following examples:

• make run-demo
• make run-hello-world
• make run-widgets (don't run this on a small screen, though)
