nanogui: Thread: GUI design tool for Nano-X?

Hi, Martin,

Thanks! And that means if I want to run X11 program on my embedded
system without any modification, I should cross-compile this program,
GTK/FLTK graphic library, Nxlib and Nano-X for my system. They are
layering like this,
                            
                           Applications
                         ----------------
                            GTK/FLTK
                         ----------------
                              NxLib
                         ----------------
                              Nano-X
Right?

You need to port GTK over NXLib

The library stack is something like this.

[  You app       ]
[    GTK           ]
[    NxLib         ]
[    Nano-X       ]
[ Microwindows]

If you want to use FLTK 2.0 the library stack is
I have ported FLTK 1.1.6_utf8 over nxlib.
However, I did not port FLTK 2.0 since it use the modern C++ feature, like
namespace, and my compile does not support it.

[  You app       ]
[    FLTK         ]
[    NxLib         ]
[    Nano-X       ]
[ Microwindows]


If you want to use FLNX the library stack is
[  You app       ]
[    FLNX         ]
[    Nano-X       ]
[ Microwindows]

Exactly.

On my system I have two versions of my application, one for testing interface and one for testing hardware.
The only difference is a few lines that operate the hardware, then I link different libraries (X11 or nxlib), the rest is the same.

For testing interface, it works with X11:
                            
                           Application
                         ----------------
                            GTK/FLTK
                         ----------------
                              X11
                            
For testing hardware, it works with nano-X:

                           Application
                         ----------------
                            GTK/FLTK
                         ----------------
                              NxLib
                         ----------------
                              Nano-X

Because you work on a different architecture, you have to get everything for that architecture but the steps are the same.

Right?

Greg,
It has been a while since we worked on NanoGTK. The code that you had 
downloaded is up-to-date. Please fee free to include it in Microwindows, 
where it belongs.

Thanks Richard - I'll post it to the Microwindows web site,
and relook at the source for any missing files.

Did you ever develop a widget set to go along with it?

Regards,

Greg
