The -only publically available version is a Linux implementation. The -following dependencies will need to be addressed if you intend to port -to another operating system (files that you need to modify are listed -at the end of each section): - - -\list - -\i <b>System V IPC</b> (shared memory and semaphores) is used to share -window regions between client and server. You will need to provide -something similar unless you want a single-application setup (i.e. -running only one program, which is the server). System V semaphores -are also used for synchronising access to the framebuffer. - -Modify \c qwindowsystem_qws.cpp, \c qwsregionmanager_qws.cpp, \c -qapplication_qws.cpp, and \c qlock_qws.cpp. - -\i <b>Unix-domain sockets</b> are used to communicate things like -keyboard events, requests to raise windows and QCOP messages between -applications. Again, you will need to provide something similar unless -you want a single-application setup. It should be possible to -implement something like this using message queues or similar -mechanisms; with the exception of QCOP messages (which are generated -by client applications and not Qt/Embedded) individual messages should -be no more than a few bytes in length. - -Modify \c qwssocket_qws.cpp. - -\i <b>The Linux framebuffer device</b> is used to map in the drawing -area. You will need to replace it (by creating a new class of QScreen) -with something else giving a byte pointer to a memory-mapped -framebuffer, plus information about width, height and bit depth (which -most likely you can simply hard-code). If your framebuffer is not -memory-mapped or is in an unsupported format or depth you will need to -modify QGfxRaster as well. - -Modify \c qgfxlinuxfb_qws.cpp. - -\i <b>The accelerated drivers</b> currently use the Linux QScreen and use -\c /proc/bus/pci to map in PCI config space. However, these are only -example drivers; you will probably need to write your own driver in -any case, and you will need to provide your own way to map in control -registers. - -Modify \c qgfxmach64_qws.cpp, \c qgfxvoodoo_qws.cpp and \c -qgfxmatrox_qws.cpp. - -\i <b>Sound</b> uses a Linux \c /dev/dsp style device. If you want to use -the Qt/Embedded sound server you'll need to reimplement it. - -Modify \c qsoundqss_qws.cpp. - -\i <b>select()</b> is used to implement QSocketDevices and listen for -events to/from the Qt/Embedded server application. - -Modify \c qapplication_qws.cpp. - -\endlist - -Qt/Embedded makes use of the standard C library and some Posix functions. -Mostly the latter are concentrated in platform dependent code anyway -(e.g. mmap() to map in the Linux framebuffer). - -*/ |
