Hi,

I am a newbie with tomtom and minigui. I wanted to make a GUI program for my
tomtom one XL using minigui library. I followed the steps mentioned in the
website (http://nullpointer.110mb.com) and ported a helloworld program to my
TomTom One XL running orignial tomtom linux kernel. But, when I try to run
the program by touching the program's icon in tomtom, nothing happens (it
just goes to gps navigation map). I would really appreciate if you could
provide me some guidance.

I installed the cross-compiler toolchain
"toolchain_redhat_gcc-3.3.4_glibc-2.3.2-20060131a.tar.gz" on my machine
running kubuntu linux. I installed the minigui resource files
minigui-res-str-1.6.tar.gz from minigui official website. Extracted Minigui
library  libminigui-str-1.6.2.tar.gz and then I applied the patch provided
in the website (http://nullpointer.110mb.com) . Followed exact same steps
mentioned in the website to install the library. I compiled the helloworld.c
program downloaded from minigui website using the command:
arm-linux-gcc -o helloworld helloworld.c -lminigui -lpthread

Then, I copied the resource files, the executable and MiniGUI.cfg downloaded
from the website (http://nullpointer.110mb.com) , into my tomtom one xl. In
the MiniGUI.cfg, I replaced mplayer with helloworld. I made SDKRegistry
folder in tomtom one and filled it with customized menu file and
helloworld.cap file.

The only thing is missed is that in that website it is mentioned that
"Notice that this build of MiniGUI can be used with opentom and also with
the officiel tomtom kernel (in this case, you have to use the ipaq driver
for the IAL module)." I did not use ipaq driver. But I assumed that would
only affect the touchscreen input. The display should still work right?

Thanks,
Palden
