[Buildroot] TinyX woes...

[Buildroot] TinyX woes...

[Ulf Samuelsson]

TinyX currently is built using
make $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS) World
but this fails miserably for ARM.

Some utilities are then built using the cross compiler
and when executed on the host, they obviously fail on non-X-86 targets.

I tried a patch which forces the use of HOSTCC for make,
but there are some temp files ("/tmp/xxxx") which are executed
and fails since they are built using the cross compiler.

TinyX seems to rely on WCHAR support, since it uses
MB_CHAR_MAX (The largest size of a character)
which only seems to be visible in the headers if 
UCLIBC_USE_WCHAR is set.

Some files seems to include header files, only present on X86.
"asm/mtrr.h" and "asm/io.h".

The cross.def file defining the environment for X Cross compilation
is updated by tinyx.mk but there seems to be things lacking.

Is there ANYONE which manages to build tinyx for x86 at the moment?
Is there ANYONE which manages to build it for another target (I.E: ARM)?

Best Regards
Ulf Samuelsson

Sorry, that was MB_CUR_MAX

Hello Ulf,

TinyX (kdrive) from http://intimate.handhelds.org/jacques/ seems to be very outdated ( dated by 2002 ).

Most of ARM embedded people use kdrive implementation for Xorg X11R7.x
(from openembedded.org).

GTK2 is not building with TinyX because of cairo requires new API (Xrender).
May be GTK-1.2 could be build but I never tried.

However TinyX build for arm was succeeded for me however not tested on target.
(i'm using uclibc with wchar and locale support).

Best regards,
Ivan

[Buildroot] TinyX woes...

Hi Ivan 

 I am also working on ARM on arm926ejs. Since 3 weeks i am finding it too
difficult to get ahead of building libglib2. it stops with error on
libintl.h which is deleted by uclibc. I really want to build a gtk with
buildroot but its to going ahead. i enabled locale & wchar and used
uclinc-9.29.0-wchar.config but it still failed at libglib2 stage. so can u
share ur buildroot config file & uclinc config files and details of any
changes u have done with buildroot. this will really be a gr8 help to me.
also what buildroot version or snapshot did u try.

Regards
Gururaja

Please post you error messages and config.log regarding glib2.
I did nothing special except enabling locale.

If it helps my uclibc config in the attachment.

BR,
Ivan

Hi Ivan

  Thanks for uclibc config. can u share the buildroot .config also. You can
check my posts at

&
http://www.nabble.com/libglib2-build-fails-with-missing-libintl.h-for-arm926ejs-toolchain-tf4204156.html
