nanogui: Thread: Re: On integrating application and nano-X, and new question

OK, I figured out the application-server link. I set the LINK APPLICATION
to Y and rebuilt the code.
Then recompile/link target.o libnano-X.a libmwengine.a libmwdrivers.a and
libmwfonts.a

The speed-up is super.

Today's question is what would the best method be to use a linux kernel
timer(i have it running) with nano-X GrCheckNextEvent?
The kernel is set up jump to a function on timer. I like that, but how to
integrate into nano-x event trap?
I do not want to use the nano-X timer. The only thing i see is inject a
keyboard event but this does not seem prudent.

Subject:    On integrating application and nano-X

Hello,
All is going well on my embedded arm project. I now want to have nano-X and
the application together.
I have read the #5592 thread and saw the bash script. I do not understand
why it is necessary to link in the mwengine,
mwdrivers etc. Are these linked into nano-X anyway and when integrating the
application, they are explicitly linked?

What would be on the " LIBS=${LIBS} " line for a nano-X application?

I currently link the application and libnano-X.a

No window manager.


thanks for the help.

Two methods: either use the GrPrepareSelect(), your own select(),
then GrHandleEvent(); or possibly use GrGetNextEventTimeout().
