X11application with the arm-linux-gnueabi compiler [message #896320] Wed, 18 July 2012 04:19 Go to next message

Good afternoon,

I am currently developing software for embedded systems. In this case it's for a Beaglebone running Angstrom Linux.
After long struggling I am now at the point where I can compile a terminal application under eclipse CDT (indigo), using the arm-linux-gnueabi-g++ compiler and the program runs well on the beaglebone.
The next step is to develop a GUI for it and the plan is to create a X11 application, so I can ssh to the program on my host machine. The X11 libraries and includes are installed (/usr/include/X11 and /usr/lib/X11).

I added the #includes to the code:
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/Xutil.h>
#include <X11/Xos.h>
#include <X11/Xatom.h>
#include <X11/keysym.h>


And put one of example code I found on the net into my main:
// Open a display.
	Display *d = XOpenDisplay(0);

	if ( d )
	{
	  // Create the window
	  Window w = XCreateWindow(d, DefaultRootWindow(d), 0, 0, 200,
				   100, 0, CopyFromParent, CopyFromParent,
				   CopyFromParent, 0, 0);

	  // Show the window
	  XMapWindow(d, w);
	  XFlush(d);

	  // Sleep long enough to see the window.
	  sleep(10);
	}


I added the X11 folder to the include paths in the project's settings and added "X11" to the linker libraries. However, when I try to compile I get:
Quote:
make all
Building target: MCMS_Aquarius
Invoking: GCC C++ Linker
arm-linux-gnueabi-g++ -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib/X11 -o "MCMS_Aquarius" ./src/MCMS_Aquarius.o ./src/io.o ./src/rass.o -lX11
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.6/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [MCMS_Aquarius] Error 1


Can someone please point out what I am missing?

Cheers,
Otl

The linker path is not correct. Did you install the X11 libs for the arm architecure?

Before you ask

Hallo Axel,

I wasn't aware that there is a different version for the ARM chips. I tried to use the default X11 library files...
Where can I get that package?

Cheers,
otl

Hello

Yes I have the sane probleme.I need to develop a graphic interface.

Can you explain me what are the options (available software) for developing a graphic interface with windows and menus?

Thanks
