windows. X11

Dependencies

Look up exact names for your package manager, but usually they end with prefixes -dev (except for cmake)

• cmake
• Xvfb
• libpthreadpool
• libX11
• libXext
• libXtst
• libXamage

If the device doesn't have SIMD support, edit CMakeLists.txt, search for "-msse2" and remove the line containing it.

Build

git clone https://github.com/W14rd/mirrors.git
cd mirrors/
cmake -B build
cd build/
make

Usage

Open a Terminal session (xfce4-terminal, gnome-terminal, xterm, kitty etc). Adjust font scale. Smaller font size = higher resolution. Run:

./build/mirrors /bin/application

Wait some time, during which a window manager session is launched and the provided app opens. All apps opened by the provided app are also rendered in this WM. To adjust zoom, use Ctrl + mouse scroll. To change current view area (panning), Ctrl + drag. Afterwards, ^\ to exit. To adjust time it waits for the app (so it doesn't timeout for heavier ones), set -s flag. If you have performance issues, the -r flag probably won't help. Use --nomouse, --ansi (or --grey as last resort) and decrease font size.
