Adding X Desktop to rpiCore

(1/8) > >>

Hey guys,

i tried to install X because it seems not to be integrated in the stock version wich i downloaded
(rpiCore-20121103.img.gz)

searched the forums wich linked me to the wiki page:
hXXp://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:adding_a_desktop_to_microcore

tried out the steps but i think some packages arent compiled yet or some not provided to add
a desktop to the core system on raspberry pi because its arm.

but i found 2 topics in thi raspberry pi forum where bmarkus solved to run a gui.

can someone explain the steps to get X with rpiCore?

Thanks in advance!

Work in progress. Wait a bit for extensions.

Hello all.  I just discovered the Raspberry Pi last week and Tiny Core just yesterday.  I am trying to build a device that will take input from two momentary switches through the GPIO and provide graphical results a monitor/TV (among other things).  I was going to use an old computer paired with a PIC Micro or an arduino to accomplish this but the Raspberry Pi looks perfect.  I suppose I could accomplish this with the official Raspbian "wheezy" but Tiny Core seems ideal.  But I am going to want to use something like FLTK or something even lighter to keep this project small, fast and simple.  Any help would be appreciated.

I just got Tiny Core running in terminal on the Raspberry Pi I got in the mail just yesterday.  Now what do I do to get some sort of graphical interface/GUI/X?

bmarkus:
For those eager to have piCore with X before official release I can offer a private preview using current snapshot. Let me know here or in PM if you want to have it.

Thanks bmarkus, I've sent you a PM.  I look forward to hearing back from you.  Maybe I can help you develop this.  I'll do my best but don't hold your breath.  I'm not really a programmer, I just play one on the internet. =)
