Re: viewml and microwindows vs. nano-x
From: "Greg Haerr" ####@####.#### Date: 9 Aug 2000 18:01:24 -0000 Message-Id: <039301c0022c$4f975bf0$6817dbd0@censoft.com> : I am developing an embeded linux. I like to know if the size of the system is 2M. I should choose which one between microwindows or nano-x and why. And I think it is more applications developed on microwindows. Microwindows supports two APIs, a win32 one and an Xlib-like one. If the ported application is written in win32 currently, or if you don't desire to spend much time with the window management issues, then the win32 api is a better choice, since the window management is built in, and still superior to the Nano-X (Xlib) implementation. However, only the Nano-X api supports multiple processes, and as such is superior to the win32 api. This is pretty much an issue related to API design rather than implementation. So, I switched gears several months ago and am now working hard to bring Nano-X up to the same level as the win32 implementation. : And the second question is whether viewml can run on microwindows or only run on nano-x. ViewML runs only on Nano-X with Microwindows and Xlib with X. This is effected by using the FLTK libraries ported to X and Microwindows. There is a win32 FLTK that runs, but we're not concentrating on that since it isn't multiple process capable.
