Super! Thanks!
I got it up and running without too much hassle.
- I've compiled it for the linux synthetic target using the vnc server
and eCos CVS HEAD
- Using the FLTK fluid GUI builder, I put together a test app. As you
point out, it works fine, just stay away from unsupported stuff(e.g.
tooltips).
Is there a CVS server for FLNX out there?
