Where can I find the harpoon.exe after installation??

For windows you don't need to install, just grab the built executable and move it to wherever you want.

But where can I find the executable then? Sorry, it will be a silly question, but I don't get it.

You need to compile the project itself, here are the instructions, I don't provide a ready to download binary and at the moment I don't have any windows machine to build it for you. If you install MSYS2 and copy&paste the commands it should work just fine.

I did earlier. But I really don't know where to like after compiling the project for the .exe file. I searched my whole machine, but there seems to be no harpoon.exe

Once you compile the executable is in the project directory, you can open it with explorer .

Ok, so I decided to not only build the executable as well as make RGB and DPI values parametrized via program arguments:

harpoond.zip

This is the branch (see its README.md) for the new changes, please let me know if it works as intended before I push them into master.

Unfortunately, the executable starts, but immediately stops again according to Windows Task Manager.

Is any error printed if executed from the windows console?

andreldm avatar Dec 29 '24 18:12 andreldm

No, it just tells: "interrupted" and then rapidly disappear from the Task Manager.

Then it's a dead end for me, I don't have a windows machine, on a VM the executable is stuck, if I add setbuf(stdout, NULL) messages are printed normally, but without the mouse (I threw it away a long time ago) it's next to impossible to troubleshoot.

I'm sorry but I can't really help, if you can manage to make it work please let me know.
