CSc 4110/6110 - Email log

For the font, you may get an error when you run the Xwindows program on the iPAQ. If so, switch the following lines in the Xwindow.h file (and Xwindow_iPAQ.h file).

#define DEFAULT_FONT "8x16"

#define DEFAULT_FONT "9x15" // or "fixed"

I have been unable to locate the arm-linux-g++ compiler on the Linux PC's in the lab.

It is available:
cs400_111:~$ cd /skiff/local/bin
cs400_111:/skiff/local/bin$ ls -l arm*g++
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 206390 Feb 1 2000 arm-linux-g++

But you may have to log in to one of the workstations to see it. I logged into machine cs400_111 above after logging into Qubit. The "skiff" directory does not show up on Qubit. This is what I get when I log into Qubit and cd to the root:
-bash-3.00$ cd /
-bash-3.00$ ls
bin   dev home    lib         media mnt proc sbin     srv tmp var
boot etc initrd lost+found misc   opt root selinux sys usr

Then when I ssh into a specific machine:
-bash-3.00$ ssh 192.168.1.111

I am on my 6th version [of lab 2] trying to get Xwindow to cooperate. Things will display sometimes, sometimes they won't, execution will hang other times, and all I am doing is a simple "show() function" in a class using XFillpolygon.

The key is the "Check_Event()" method. I have this line in one of the examples:
if (mywindow3.Check_Event()) {} // Needed or text will not display

I think the update itself is an event. Try calling this method whenever you want an update to the graphics.
