Forum Topic - QNX and wxPython: (6 Items)
   
QNX and wxPython  
Hi:

Im interested in getting wxPython going in QNX6.4.0. My research shows a lot of good work done in pkgsrc, but I cant 
find any references to wxPython or wx in QNX. 

Has anyone done a port or attempted it? Is XFree86 the way to go or is QT an easier path? 
I'd be very keen to hear the stories and opinions. 

Thanks,
Andy

Has no one looked into using wxPython? 

I find it exceptional. I can write GUI apps for Windows and Linux, the code rarely needs to be changed.

Not that I'm aware of.  It sounds like it expects X
which may be a large hurdle; unless xphoton is
used but I haven't heard much about that lately...

Thanks for the reply Sean. 

Yes Im finding that wxPython expects certain X files and they arent there. 
There may be other solutions. More research . 

Thanks,
Andy
Re: QNX and wxPython  
From my understanding of the process a good starting point would be to get the wxWidgets library ported to Photon, 
(probably starting with the wxUniversal  or wxDFB build), and then build wxPython to use that.  There are a number of 
embedded targets already being addressed on the wxWidgets site.
Re: QNX and wxPython  
To reopen this discussion: within the forums at openqnx.com there is currently a discussion about a native wxWidgets 
implementation for QNX.
