Omega2 Dash using GTK library
-
Has anyone managed to get the Dash to work with the GTK graphics library, not the LVGL library? I have a ton of utilities I’ve already written I don’t want to have to port to a new library just for this board
Thx

@davidsi Perhaps take a look at the dependencies, not sure GNOME is on the horizon for embedded devices like Omega2.

@davidsi Looks like GTK doesn't support writing directly to the framebuffer and needs a window system, see https://discourse.gnome.org/t/use-of-gtk-on-embedded-linux-systems/8881
The Omega2 Dash only supports the framebuffer (a windowing system is probably too heavy for an embedded system)
They mention Qt in the linked thread, looks like there's good documentaiton for Qt for embedded linux: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/embedded-linux.html

@davidsi @Lazar-Demin QT is a wonderful system, except the licensing. For the record it's what BlackBerry used for their BB10 OS as a UI on top of their QNX OS.
