: this only works if the host and target are binary compatible, which
: isn't always the case. in my case host is running Linux (or some other
: unix) and the target is running RTEMS. (RTEMS does not currently have a
: native X11 port.)
:
: do you have any suggestions for porting third-party graphics toolkits
: (Qt, FLTK, etc) in this situation other than a direct-to-nano-X port?
Even when the host and target aren't binary compatible, and
the target doesn't have an X11 port, using NXLIB with toolkits
written for Xlib (like FLTK and GTK+) can be a good idea.
The NXLIB code essential re-maps the Xlib calls to nano-X,
and can be ported completely without X11 sources or binaries
present. You'd just have to grab the Xlib.h and other files from
your desktop and use them when compiling nano-X and the
graphics toolkits.
The big advantage here is that you can use tested X11 toolkits
without having to specially port to nano-X.

Greg
