> I am using microwindows 0.89 and I have found in the demos/nanox folder a nxcal.c file, but it doesn't generate any
binary in the bin folder. I tried compiling it separately but there is no sign of the linked header file fixed.h. Any
help?
A standard calibrator wasn't included in v0.89. Version 0.90 contains
the standard calibrator nxcal.c, which doesn't require fixed.h.
> I've also found a calibration application in the microwindows 0.90 project. The binary works and I've also launched it
using the nano-X and nanowm from the 0.89 version and it seems working correctly apart for an error msg "GsHandleClient
bad function". Is it possible to easily port this application to microwindows 0.89?
You're getting the bad function errmsg because version 0.90 uses the new
GrCalcTransform API call, which isn't in 0.89. If you add that function
to 0.89 from 0.90's nanox/nxtransform.c, the application would likely work.
> As I previously wrote, I am not using microwindows 0.90 'cos I couldn't cross-complile it for ARM target,
Can you please give details on this again? We're not aware that there are
any cross-compilation issues with 0.90.
> so the 0.90 version has color bugs in displaying tiff /jpeg images. I basically solved this color bug adding the tiff
decoder in the 0.89 version. I wasn't able to do the contrary.
Agreed - this needs to be fixed. The bug is related to the addition of
alpha (ARGB) support. and tiff/jpeg RGB values with 0 and 0xff alpha values.
> An other main problem is that it seems I can't access the Microwindows CVS.
I tried a lot of times and a few minutes ago too and I always got back the msg:
"connect to cvs.microwindows.org(166.70.186.59):2401 failed:
Connection timed out"
I just checked this and it seems up. Do you have the proper CVSROOT?
