I don't know about getting rid of fltk, but, back in January I posted
some patches to use the (very) small libhttp from SoftOrchestra instead of
the W3C library. See the mailing list
(http://mail.viewml.com/Lists/viewml-devel/) starting at 19 Jan 2002.
There were a couple of follow-up messages with more info.
Hi Chris!some patches to use the (very) small libhttp from SoftOrchestra instead of
the W3C library. See the mailing list
(http://mail.viewml.com/Lists/viewml-devel/) starting at 19 Jan 2002.
There were a couple of follow-up messages with more info.
I should have come looking on this mailing list first, but instead proceeded
to pull my hair out for a day getting libwww compiled...but my problem turned
out to be more a compiler issue.
The development board I have came with BlueCat Linux v3.1, and the
environment they setup is a bit strange. After grabbing the arm-linux
compiler from http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ my hair loss was reduced to a
minimal state...the compiler from there works like most cross compilers I've
used...and maybe the newer BlueCat 4.x stuff is better, but from what I can
tell, LynuxWorks modifies their compiler to use some environment variables,
and without them set, or without running their strange setup script, the
compiler/tools toss chunks at me...
Once I installed the compiler from the arm linux site in the uk, I could
configure and build libwww by specifying the usual --host=arm-linux param,
and all compiled.
Anyway, I need to get a small browser going on a Cirrus Logic EP7312 board
for a friend, and it's got a 12bit LCD to throw in an additional twist.
<vent>
It really irks me that the toolchain is so hard to get a hold of, even Monta
Vista pulled their Journeyman CDs sometime last year (2.0 was the last) and
it seems that most all of the vendors require a subscription of such to get
most of the cross compiler builds of the toolchain, some offering the x86
target as a trial. For these tools being GPL, it really burns my @$$ that
beauracracy seems to put a stranglehold on the embedded industry. Kinda funny
as folks like TiVo seem to roll their own system rather than go with any of
the popular vendors...and I'm starting to see why.
</vent>
I have fltk, libwww, microwin (not sure if I need nano-x also, but my
impression is that the version running on x is the nano-x version...I might
need to config and compile it again, but it built), and I just need imlib I
think as the last dependancy.
Let me know if you're coming out for LinuxWorld next week Chris, I'll
certainly buy 'ya a drink!
