[Pgui-devel] porting effort

2003-01-29 Thread Cesare Zavattari
Hi all, I'd like to port picoGUI on my own operating system (http://mynos.sourceforge.net). At the moment DEPUI already works on mynos, but I have very few POSIX syscalls implemented. I'd like to have an idea of the *basic* posix syscalls picoGUI *needs* to run (signals calls? threads calls? sel

It's really been far too long since I worked on the Helio. I'd suggest finding someone else that's also working on the helio if possible, or maybe posting this to the uClibc or busybox mailing lists. On Wed, Jan 29, 2003 at 02:25:59AM +, Mark and Janice Juszczec wrote: > > Micah > > Just tho

[Pgui-devel] Designing a more efficient protocol

2003-01-29 Thread Micah Dowty
Hi, Another consideration for the new object model, is in optimizing the wire protocol. Currently PicoGUI always requires a response for every request, and in order to create an object then set properties you have to wait for the object ID to be returned, then use that ID to set properties. The s
