I guess size is not important for you. We (Montavista) are supporting Microwindows, which is a small footprint open-source windowing system for embedded systems (I must have said this a thousand times at LinuxWorld). you can find a srpm and a rpm for 8xx on our ftp site ftp://ftp.mvista.com. It is very light weight, but has several widgets (listbox, buttons, etc). > Are you already done this? > How can i proceed? > > I'm in a hurry... please help me soon! > yeah, if you are in a hurry, I suggest trying microwindows. It has both a Win323 API and a "X like" API into its graphics engine. If you are familiar with either one, you can have a simple app running in no time. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
