Libggi now runs on Linux/Alpha.
BUT WAIT, there's more... Marcus Sundberg [
[email protected]] has ported
Libggi to Digital Unix Alphas. His patches should be shortly
incorporated in the main GGI source tree. ( Double check earlier
news updates for info on the changes being done with guest CVS access
to the source tree )
What is Libggi?
Libggi is a basic 2D graphics and input library which utilizes dynamic
loading and unloading of modular library subsystems to allow for
transparent integration of hardware acceleration support on a per-card
basis.
Libggi currently supports the following display targets.
KGI = the kernel graphics interface.
X = runs under normal X or GGI-aware X servers.
Memory = simulate display in memory.
Multi = display to multiple targets.
AA = display on AAlib text mode. ( alpha stages )
NOTE: You do NOT need a GGI patched kernel running to develop programs
using Libggi. Libggi will automagically detect what it is running under
and display appropriately. Simply install libggi with the X target
enabled and you can develop under normal X. Any program you develop that
uses libggi will run under a normal X server or the GGI-aware X server
or to any other display target that libggi supports!
