linux gui

May 06, 2004 3 Replies

I'm working on arm embedded project and we would need gui for our application. I tried microwindows but I'm little hesitating on this one, because it is not being developed any more and it has some issues making it unstable in some occasions (my experience). We don't need fully featured gui like gpe or qt/e just enough to display images, play sound and play video.



Anyone had any experience with gtk+-2.x, tinyX on ARM architecture ?


I dowloaded microwindows from CVS and the last update was last february 28th. Though it seems it is not receiving agressive feature additions, I wouldn't say it is not being developed anymore (at least it is being maintained.) We have used it on a PXA255 and have had good results so far though it has not gone through extensive tests under heavy load so far.

Regards.

GPE is built on top of GTK+-2.2 and tinyX on xscale/arm. It already works. Just take the GPE stuff you don't need out and use the GTK libs directly.

Who claims that?

You must be doing something wrong, then.
