Re: [Gumstix-users] Getting TinyX to Work as a GUI on Verdex withSamsung display

[Thomas K. B. <tkb...@ba...>]

I tried long and hard to get Microwin to compile and gave up. Trying to =
put effort into getting tinyx to work now.  Not really sure why these =
are in the buildroot if they don't compile, or are missing dependencies. =
 Perhaps it's just my ignorance, but everything I've tried to compile in =
the buildroot, other than the standard build, just seems to fail.

Sincerely,
Thomas K. Bailey

Hi Greg,

I would like to know a simple answer to this one as well. There is =
Microwin
and RXVT in the Buildroot Menuconfig, but I haven't been able to get the
build root to compile with either of these selected.

I am trying to see if I can manually compile Matchbox right now for =
manual
installation on the Gumstix.

regards,

Chris
