Until now, Genode's framebuffer session interface was based on the RGB565 pixel format. This patch changes the pixel format to 32-bit XRGB where the X part is ignored. It adapts all graphical applications and device drivers accordingly. The patch also adjusts the users of the drivers_interactive packages, assigning 64 MiB RAM and 1500 caps to the drivers subsystem, which is sufficient for covering high resolutions at 32 bits per pixel and to accommodate multi-component USB HID input stacks. Fixes #3784
This directory contains ports of popular 3rd-party software to Genode. Usage ----- The tool './tool/ports/prepare_port' in the toplevel directory automates the task of downloading and preparing the library source codes. You can select individual packages that have to be prepared by specifying their base names (without the version number) as command-line argument. For example, the following command prepares both the C library and the Freetype library: ! ./tool/ports/prepare_port libc freetype To compile and link against 3rd-party libraries of the 'libports' repository, you have to include the repository into the build process by appending it to the 'REPOSITORIES' declaration of your '<build-dir>/etc/build.conf' file. Under the hood -------------- For each library, there is a file contained in the 'libports/ports/' subdirectory. The file is named after the library and contains the library-specific rules for downloading the source code and installing header files. How does 'libports' relate to the other repositories? ----------------------------------------------------- Most libraries hosted in the 'libports' repository expect a complete C library, which is provided with the 'libc' package. Please do not forget to prepare the libc package when using any of the other libports packages. The libc, in turn, depends on the 'os' repository for its back end. Because the 'os' repository is the home of the dynamic linker, libraries contained in 'libports' are safe to assume the presence of the dynamic linker and, thus, should be built as shared libraries.
