screenoff

screenoff is a really small command line tool to turn off the computer's screen.

Currently only Windows is supported.

Tested on Windows 7.

Compilation

The program is cross-compiled via mingw-w64 on Mac OS X. It should also build with any C++ compiler on Windows, too (untested).

To cross-compile, follow these steps:

  1. Adjust the paths in the toolchain file to point to the cross-compiler.

  2. Create a temporary build directory (e.g. build) in the source file tree and change into it.

  3. Run cmake, e.g. via:

     cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchain-x86_64-w64-mingw32.cmake

  4. Run make or the according tool of your toolchain to compile the executable.

  5. Optional: Run make package to create a ZIP file for distribution.

Installation

Simply copy the executable screenoff.exe from the ZIP file into any directory and run it either directly or via a shortcut.
