libyeux.so: a scrap library for linux

You want to create a bot ? ok, but how can you determine which cards you hold ? how much your opponent has bet ? 
Well ... there is several way to do this:
- reverse engineering of ram memory and find where are stored theses informations ? 
- reverse engineering of network communication ?
Well ... both way are not easy to do, in particulary because network communication are encrypted (maybe by openssl), and they may also encrypt all ram-information ? And not to mention that this method is not portable ! you will have to do this reverse engineering for every poker site !
So using OCR and scrap region we are interested is the best way.

OpenHoldem is a poker plateform and it scrap screen image to find all needed information. So I decided to port scrap files for linux, and I create a library libyeux.so

If you are a macos/BSD user, it's should also work for you.

    Our holdem bot uses sophisticated player profiling to play an exploitive strategy on all ranges of tables. The profile I'd like you to try out is our WebMTTAgg Gen 9 or Negreanu profile.
