Remarks

For windows:
If you don't know what type of architecture your system uses (32-bit/x86 or 64-bit/x64), download the x86 version as it is compatible with both of them.

For both Linux and Windows:
If for any reason the executable placed in the root folder doesn't work as expected, you can use a different executable that can be found in "MouseMoverData" folder. The executable in the root folder serves as a shortcut to the real one.

Special mentions

• If the "shortcuts" / executables are not created, compile them with gcc MouseMover.cpp -o MouseMover -mwindows for Windows and gcc MouseMover.cpp -o MouseMover for Linux. Optionally add the architecture in the name too.

Examples to compile for different architectures:

• Windows:
  gcc MouseMover.cpp -o Windows/MouseMover_x86 -mwindows -m32
gcc MouseMover.cpp -o Windows/MouseMover_x64 -mwindows -m64

• Linux:
  gcc MouseMover.cpp -o Linux/MouseMover_x86 -m32
gcc MouseMover.cpp -o Linux/MouseMover_x64 -m64

For linux you might need to run the command: sudo apt-get install g++-multilib To add icons for the Windows executables you can use ResourceHacker.

Windows

• Windows 10 SDK should be installed

Linux

• Build on both x86 and x64 architectures using different OS installations

MacOs

• Build for both architectures using different versions of Python(one for 32 bits and one for 64 bits)
