xdotool for Windows
I have moved on to use macOS exclusively. As a result I completely dropped using xdotool/w32dotool and also stopped developing w32dotool. Therefore I am open to transfer the ownership to anyone who is willing to actively maintain this piece of software. Just write me an e-mail.
w32dotool is a clone of xdotool but targeting Windows. Its ultimate goal is to fully replicate ALL commands supplied by xdotool.
The list of fully supported commands: still empty
The list of partially supported commands:
getmouselocation- Does not respect the window stack
search- Does not respect the window stack
windowactivate- Does not respect the window stack
You will need a functioning MinGW environment. This sections describes the compilation using Msys2.
First install the dependencies:
pacman -S gcc make automake autoconf mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
Use the MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit Terminal for the next actions and everytime you want to re-compile w32dotool.
Next up get w32dotool:
git clone https://github.com/ritschmaster/w32dotool
cd w32dotool
Finally compile w32dotool:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/mingw64/lib/pkgconfig
./autogen.sh
make
Afterwards you may install w32dotool by performing:
make install
First install MinGW:
sudo dnf install -y mingw64-gcc mingw64-gcc-c++ mingw64-winpthreads-static cmake automake autoconf autoconf-archive libtool
Then get w32dotool:
git clone https://github.com/ritschmaster/w32dotool
cd w32dotool
Finally compile w32dotool:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig/
./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
make
