I think the first step for the graphics engine, MicroWindows, is twofold: support for the win32 platform needs to be based around the Win32 CE subset, which is no problem, and adding Xlib support so that the GTK+/Gdk tools can run on top of it. There's quite a bit of work no matter which way we go, but MicroWindows is alot farther on the win32 CE front. CE drops quite a bit of win32 functionality and we could allow winCE programs to be compiled for the microwindows/linuxCE system and run without too much modification. There are quite a few custom controls to write, however. On the Xlib front, I'm going to start studying the GTK+/Gdk implementation and see how much work would be required to get that to run on top of MicroWindows. Perhaps that should be called MicroX, unless we want to change the nano-X api. I'd be interested in hearing which API's are more interesting, and whether many people have programs already written that would like to be ported.

Yes. It's MPL with a convert-to-GPL option (apart from David's original code, which is PD). --------------- Linux- the choice of a GNU generation. -------------- : Alex Holden (M1CJD)- Caver, Programmer, Land Rover nut, Radio Ham : -------------------- http://www.linuxhacker.org/ -------------------- | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
