With uclibc, I created a gui that was about 900Kbytes, compiled static for arm. My images + fonts took up another 100kbytes.
This was including jpeg, png, and freetype support. This original program was done with GTK+DirectFB, and took around 10MB. It was completely re-implemented in DirectFB only, and ran about 5 times faster, and started up in about 2-3 seconds, whereas the original took 30-60 seconds depending on other system loading (playing audio, for example, while gui was initializing). This was on an ARM9 running at 150MHz (OMAP5910 with offboard EMIFS attached epson s1d13506 graphics controller, with ~640x480 GUI). I would strongly recommend not using GTK for perfomance / space constrained embedded apps, despite its ease of rapid development. -David > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] On Behalf Of Readon > Shaw > Sent: Friday, April 07, 2006 2:37 AM > To: directfb > Subject: [directfb-dev] problem with directfb on embedded system. > > > I want to get a stable and powerful GUI for our > embedded system.

Is there some articles that makes the program take less disk space?
