Re: [Gumstix-users] Trouble building X windows for Gumstix

[Chris D. <chr...@gm...>]

Hi Marc,

All that was committed to my user branch in svn - not the main gumstix trunk.

To checkout my branch the command would be:
svn co http://svn.gumstix.com/gumstix-buildroot/branches/users/cdollar/trunk
chris-buildroot

The build still has a number of issues with dependencies, and there
are a few patches that I need to commit to it as well, but I'd say it
is 90% working.  I'm not really maintaining that branch anymore as
I've switched to using openembedded for building kernel/rootfs instead
of the gumstix buildroot.  If you are serious about graphical
programming with the gumstix I'd encourage you to check out oe
(openembedded.org).  It has MUCH better support for X, gtk+, etc, and
for me it builds out-of-the-box.  That being said, the learning curve
for oe is fairly steep, so if you want to try it with my buildroot
branch give it a go.  I know of one person with a verdex who used my
branch last week to get X and matchbox working on a verdex (no
touchscreen support though - I'm not sure that there is a working
driver for the i2c based ts controller on the consolelcd-vx just yet.

Good luck!
Chris
