Xynth Windowing System
Xynth is an embedded and portable interface between display hardware (the mouse, keyboard, and video displays) and the desktop environment that works on many hardware, including embedded devices. More...
Xynth SVN Repository has changed!
Suddenly Sourceforge has changed svn repository address. You should be able to checkout latest xynth sources with;

$ svn co https://xynth.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xynth/trunk xynth

New stable release date is somehow being late - main reason is lack of spare time -, and seems that it will be later than I expected. While waiting for the new release, feel free to use latest svn version. It should be stable enough.

We are working on light weight widget library, core enhancements - especially build system -, and porting issues. Widget library is designed to be so small that you do not want to use ;), unless you are working on a real embedded device. For those waiting for a full featured widget library the gtk+-2.10.x port is on development after a very long delay, I hope we will have the gtk with the new release.

Cheers!

Xynth 0.8.40 is released !

we have released 0.8.40. in this release no new feature has been added but lots of minor bugs has been fixed and the architecture has been improved especially the server is faster now.

in addition to this, miscellaneous libraries and application patches within the package has been improved. you can access changelog from here.

the other important innovation is a new port of the well known jvm kaffe's peerless awt backend. this means that the java applications which has graphical user interface can work on xynth.

in the source package you may find links, sdl, mplayer, gtk and Kaffe patches but also for now on xynth has cvs commit access to kaffe. thanks to kaffe team. Feature releases and cvs release of kaffe will include Xynth port. for that reason there is no need to use the Kaffe patch in Xynth source package for future releases of kaffe.

you may find all the latest file for this release at, http://sourceforge.net/projects/xynth or http://gsulinux.org/~distch/projects/xynth

Enjoy!

Xynth 0.8.00 is released!
Here we come up the with the 0.8.00 version of Xynth.

The main goal of this release is the win32 port. You can find out the recent changes in Changelog.

For us it is another validation of our low layer APIs. There is only two things you need to have. Thread implementation and the video driver for Xynth. Thats all! To see that how it is (easily) portable platform to platform you may have a look at the Makefile.cfg's.

You may find the latest sources and also the win32 binary on http://sourceforge.net/projects/xynth

Enjoy

Xynth on GDI
Xynth has been ported to GDI with Caglar`s great effort (xynth_migw_gdi_01.png). Updates will be avaible on next up comming release (v0.8.00). Keep watching ChangeLog for updates.

GDI port enables to use xynth on microsoft windows, this is just a proof of concept to show the portbility, and system independency. nothing more.

Happy new year to everyone ;)

Xynth on PSP!
Xynth is now on PSP (Playstation Portable).

Download:
http://gsulinux.org/~distch/projects/xynth/down/psp-1.0.tar.bz2
http://gsulinux.org/~distch/projects/xynth/down/psp-1.5.tar.bz2

I do not know if v1.0 is working, mine is v1.5.
sources are avaible on site, but source file is rather old... I will upload latest sources next week.

After launching xynth please wait untill desktop (blue screen will shown with icons) opens, and memory stick stops blinking. What I have is, a server that handles windows (clients), a desktop client, a taskbar client which is a child of desktop. Move the mouse cursor with D-pad (X left button, O right button) and click twice on desktop icons... or, open start menu by pressing Xy on start menu icon. Only demos are working...

Clients are opened as threads, and they talk to server via pipe emulation over socket emulation. I am using UDS on linux, but if there is no socket api, socket api emulation with pipe() is used. and if there is no pipe, or fd.., pipe emulation with mutexes is used.

Pressing X on the left-up corner will couse the Xynth to quit, or you can close Xynth by pressing home button as usual.

You can resize or move any window.

And one last thing, some times xynth dies becouse of memory problems... I do not understand why this is happening, because I am using xynth over SDL, vesa, svgalib, fbdev on linux and there is no such problem, even with valgrind (www.valgrind.org).
