There shouldn't be any issue porting microwindows to the
symbian environment.  You may have to write
mouse and keyboard drivers, and a screen driver if
the system doesn't have a framebuffer previously setup
that can be used for graphics output.

The Microwindows project very easily supports new compilers
as well as operating systems and C libraries, and is quite
configurable to eliminate features that might not be available
or desired, for instance file i/o for images.

The first step is to compile the microwindows source with
the new compiler, with a minimal configuration file.  You
can also read the Architecture description on the website,
which describes the simple driver requirements.

Regards,

Greg

Hi,Greg Haerr,

	Thanks for your answer my quesiton so detail,but I still have a question about that.You mean I must write mouse,keyboard,touchscreen and screen driver for symbian system if I want to use microwindows in symbian environment? However, I think I don't have ability to write driver,so I think I have to learn  symbian carbian.C++ develop,what are your suggestion?

I am not aware of a microwindows port to the symbian environment
yet.  (of course, the source was just recently released open source,
so that could change).  So...  that means that someone's going
to have to write the drivers for microwindows/symbian port.  I
haven't looked into symbian enough yet to comment.

Has anyone else?

Regards,

Greg
