Build MiniGUI-Lite version library.
39
If you excludes this option, the MiniGUI library will be built as MiniGUI-Threads version.
41
In MiniGUI-Lite version, the applications(tasks) are organized as separate processes.
42
There is a server application(process) called "mginit", and other client applications(processes).
43
The clients and the server communicates with each other via UNIX Domain Sockets.
45
The MiniGUI-Threads version uses pthread library, and the tasks are organized as threads.
47
Build Stand-Alone version of MiniGUI-Lite
49
Build Stand-Alone version of MiniGUI-Lite.
51
In normal MiniGUI-Lite version, the applications (tasks) are organized as separate processes.
52
Include this option, we will get a stand-alone version, i.e., there is only a process,
53
and no clients can run on the process.
57
Use incore resource data to initialize MiniGUI instead of file I/O.
58
Choose this option will override the configuration in MiniGUI.cfg file.
62
The MiniGUI timer timeout value is in unit of 10 ms.
64
BOOL GUIAPI SetTimer (HWND hWnd, int id, unsigned int speed);
66
The argument "speed" in SetTimer function may represent the frequency of the timer,
67
or represent the timeout value of the timer. This is depend on
68
the runtime library of MiniGUI. If _TIMER_UNIT_10MS is defined,
69
"speed" represents the timeout value of the timer, in the unit of 10ms,
70
else is the frequency. If "speed" represents the frequency of the timer,
71
when it is equal to 10, the timer will expire after every second.
73
If you wants to define _TIMER_UNIT_10MS (default), includes this option.
75
Cursor support (for MiniGUI-Lite)
77
You can excludes cursor support from MiniGUI library by excluding this option.
79
User can move window with mouse
81
In embedded systems, this option may usually be excluded. No one will need or like a moveable
82
window on handheld devices like PDA.
84
Mouse button can do double click
86
Double click is not usual in embedded system, you may want to exclude this option.

629
uClinux kernel was created to support non-MMU microprocessors, it is small but retains
630
the main advantages of the linux operating system: stability, superior network capability,
631
and excellent file system support. Most Linux applications can run on uClinux with little
632
or without any changes.
634
MiniGUI version 1.3 makes some optimization for uClinux, such as built-in resources support,
635
and specific memory allocations.
637
To use MiniGUI under uClinux, compiles it as static library.

uClibc - a Small C Library for Linux
672
Erik Andersen <andersen@codepoet.org>
674
uClibc is a C library for
675
developing embedded Linux systems. It is much smaller than the
676
GNU C Library, but nearly all applications supported by glibc
677
also work perfectly with uClibc. Porting applications from glibc
678
to uClibc typically involves just recompiling the source code.
679
uClibc even supports shared libraries and threading. It currently
680
runs on standard Linux and MMU-less (also known as uClinux)
681
systems with support for alpha, ARM, i386, i960, h8300, m68k,
682
mips/mipsel, PowerPC, SH, SPARC, and v850 processors.
684
If you are building an embedded Linux system and you find that
685
glibc is eating up too much space, you should consider using
686
uClibc. If you are building a huge fileserver with 12 Terabytes
687
of storage, then using glibc may be a better choice...
689
uClibc is maintained by Erik Andersen and is licensed under the
690
GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE . This license allows you to
691
make closed source commercial applications using uClibc (Please
692
consider sharing some of the money you make ;-). You do not need
693
to give away all your source code just because you use uClibc
696
--------------------------------------------------------------
698
uClibc does not support shared library under uClinux now, so you may
699
need to compile MiniGUI as static library.
701
If you are compiling MiniGUI for uClinux and choose uClibc as the libc
702
library, you do not need to configure uClibc separately.
704
If you are not using uClibc under uClinux-dist, make sure you have
705
compiled and install uClibc v0.9.19 in the director:
706
"/usr/ARCH-linux-uclibc".
709
uClinux-Dist directory
711
Set directory of your uClinux-dist if you are using uClinux.
715
Set directory of your uClibc if you are not using uClibc under uClinux.
717
uClibc header directory
719
Directory of your uClibc header.
721

723
Directory of your binary uClibc library.
