Thanks for the pointer! I already found this port this morning (well, trunk seems to be older than this branch). I gave it a try, but failed. After commenting in some sys/select.h includes, I got further, but I'm now failing with undefined 'nxSocket's and other stuff. Seems to be related to NONETWORK when I actually do have networking. I gave up on that (for now). So, what springs to my mind, what other options for a graphical user interface do I have? I don't really need a window manager, but a kind of GUI library for a more comfortable way than doing everything by hand using pixel manipulation. I'm doing a "littel" (well, getting bigger and bigger) project in my freetime, so commercial GUI libs aren't an option here. I found MiniGUI on the net, which claims to have eCos support, but there is zero documentation available and a quick search through the ML archieves here gives me the impression, that it's completely unsupported and noone seems to have really used it. Are there any other options for building a neat GUI using the framebuffer? Drawing text, some menus, maybe buttons and images, something like that. I don't need a full featured window manager... Any ideas/input on that front are very welcome!
