Remove Linux Cgo requirement

Open gen2brain opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Did you consider using https://github.com/BurntSushi/xgb which is Cgo free/native binding to XCB? I am not sure though, but it should be possible to rewrite with XCB instead of Xlib so Linux implementation can be Cgo free.

It is an interesting option (maybe this fork is more up to date https://github.com/jezek/xgb), and also would be wonderful if we could remove cgo completely. Nevertheless, I think we will consider writing everything ourselves without introducing third dependencies outside golang.org.
