Hi All,
I am an embedded system engineer and, running wx applications on embedded systems matters for me.
Does wxWidgets runs on any embedded system? I want to try to do this using raspberry pi board but, I don't Know if this could work or not!
Does anyone trayed this before?
Thank you in advance for you participation to this topic and sharing with me you knowledge.
Regards,
S.Tarik
Run wx projects on embedded board
Re: Run wx projects on embedded board
If you're talking about a Raspi with GUI (GTK or X11), it definitely works.
Use the source, Luke!
Re: Run wx projects on embedded board
If it runs Linux with GTK or X11, there is a good chance, wxWidgets will build on it.
There is also wxDFB (FB for framebuffer) which displays a Gui by writing directly into the framebuffer of the graphics card (without running GTK, X11 or similar), but i don't know if this port is still maintained and updated. If you're interested in it, better ask on the mailing list
AFAIK it is also possible to build wxWidgets without any GUI support with special "./configure" options, but i don't know any details.
FWIW, i think using wxWidgets for non-Gui embedded systems is overkill.
Use the source, Luke!

Not for years, iirc.There is also wxDFB (FB for framebuffer) which displays a Gui by writing directly into the framebuffer of the graphics card (without running GTK, X11 or similar), but i don't know if this port is still maintained and updated.
For a 'base' build I do, in the source dir:AFAIK it is also possible to build wxWidgets without and GUI support with special "./configure" options
Code: Select all
(mkdir -p basedb && cd basedb/ && ../configure --prefix=$(pwd) --enable-debug --enable-cxx11 --disable-gui && make -j`nproc`)
