libgui

Usage

Following steps are required for initialization:

InitOSFunctionPointers();   // Load OS functions
InitPadScoreFunctionPointers();
InitVPadFunctionPointers(); // Input functions for GUI control
InitFSFunctionPointers();   // To load file from the SD Card
InitGX2FunctionPointers();  // For rendering
InitAXFunctionPointers();   // For sound

mount_sd_fat("sd");			// Mounting the SD Card
memoryInitialize();			// Initialize memory management

//DO GUI STUFF HERE!

memoryRelease();
unmount_sd_fat("sd");

Link the application with:

-lgui -lutils -ldynamiclibs -lfreetype -lgd -lpng -ljpeg -lz  -lmad -lvorbisidec

You also need to add the include path to your Makefile. Example:

export INCLUDE	:= [...] -I$(PORTLIBS)/include/freetype2 \
						 -I$(PORTLIBS)/include/libgui \
						 -I$(PORTLIBS)/include
