That's been a help,
Thanks
Hi again,
The source code when built on Linux results in a number of executables (in
the bin
directory):
* Nano-X server, a bit like a X server will display a blank page and wait
for applications to connect to it.* Nano-X demos, these connect to the
server.
* Microwindows demos, these contain both the application and the server
and are run 'stand alone'.
What and How things are built is controlled by the config file. There are a
number
of sample configs in the Configs directory. Just edit the sections for the
options
you want.
When you build you build for either or both Microwindows and Nano-X, they
are
not exclusive, but they are not compatible which other. The advantage comes
that they both use the same underlying drivers, so you only need to write
those
once.
Nano-X server and applications (normally) communicate through a network
stack,
much like X. This enables multiple applications to run simultaneously.
If you are wanting Nano-X, but don't have the networkstack you can specify
to
link the Nano-X server into the application. This produces a combined
application
in the same manner as the Microwindows stuff, but also means you can have
only
one application running at time.Simon.-----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: [nanogui] microwindowsHi Simon,
I downloaded source from Microwindows-0_89pre7_tar. The config file is for
microwindows and nanox. To use microwindows does this mean compiling in
mwin as opposed to nanox??
I'm a little confused with the sockets issue, it won't be a client server
set up. Setting up my scr_xyz.c should be ok. I think I may have to do
more work on Arch.rules.Thanks again,Fergal
