First public release of wxEmbedded
Hi, I would like to annouce a first beta version of wxEmbedded. wxEmbedded is the project name for support for small devices in wxWindows (currently mainly PDAs). wxWindows is a free GUI library which uses native controls instead of drawing them itself. Whereever a feature is missing, wxWindows will provide its own replacement. In the case of wxEmbedded, we use X11 as our backend and since X11 has no controls at all, we provide the complete GUI ourselves. There is support for the GTK library as a backend for wxWindows (both version 1.2 and the new version 2.0) and if the GTK should become the open source standard for PDA GUIs, the wxEmbedded will switch over to its GTK backends (or use both). More info about wxEmbedded, including binaries for a cross-compilation tool-chain with X11 support and screen-shots is available from: http://www.roebling.de/embedded.html More info about wxWindows in general: http://www.wxwindows.org Note that this is the first public version of wxEmbedded and it is likely to have bugs and not yet implemened features. Notably, there is no socket support in the X11 backend yet. Regards, Robert -- Robert Roebling, <robert.roebling@medizin.uni-ulm.de> (Log in to post comments)
