Which port is best to base my port on, GTK or Frame buffer? If your VxWorks environment provides a POSIX API and already has a GTK port, I'd give the GTK front end a whirl first. If it has just a POSIX API, the frame buffer version will be much less effort to get something going. Please note that the frame buffer front end is still very much a work in progress, but it does work as a proof-of-concept. > We use WindML as a media layer and Tilcon as graphical engine. I'm not sure what either of these are :) The frame buffer version can simply be viewed as something that gives you a bitmap that you then render to your display. Do note however that it handles the mouse and such itself, too. But all these sorts of things are adjustable. Another approach might be to write a front end specific to VxWorks or your own application. This is more effort, but would most likely end up with a nicer, snappier and better integrated browser. > This communication is confidential and intended solely for the > addressee(s).
