-wxWindows PDA/Embedded System Emulator
+wxWidgets PDA/Embedded System Emulator
======================================
This is a simple display emulator for embedded
-applications (wxWindows or other) that use
+applications (wxWidgets or other) that use
an X server. The Familiar Linux distribution
is one such environment, using Tiny-X.
% emulator &
+or
+
+% emulator mydevice.wxe &
+
+to specify a configuration file. Run emulator --help
+to show what options are available, such as --use-display
+for specifying a display other than :100.
+
After a brief flicker in which wxEmulator steals
Xnest's window, you should see an emulated iPAQ with
a checked screen that indicates raw X with nothing else
% export DISPLAY=:100
% xterm &
-Eventually the emulator will support configurable
-skins, complete with buttons as on the actual device.
-For now, it just pretends to be an iPAQ.
+For details on the configuration file format, please
+see default.wxe. Eventually it will support
+device buttons.
Compiling wxEmulator
====================
You need to use wxX11 -- no other port is supported.
Configure and make wxX11 in the usual way (see docs/x11/install.txt
-at the wxWindows top level), then compile wxEmulator
+at the wxWidgets top level), then compile wxEmulator
using the makefile that configure created.
Have fun!
