+
+CVS Module: rtems-graphics-toolkit
+
+The RTEMS Graphics Toolkit include
+
+ *  libjpeg - (v7) http://www.ijg.org/
+ *  libtiff - (v3.6.2) http://www.libtiff.org/
+ *  libpng - (1.2.42) http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html
+ *  libfreetype - (2.3.11) http://freetype.sourceforge.net/index2.html
+ *  libt1 - (5.1.2) http://www.t1lib.org/
+
+Microwindows/Nano-X may be built using the kit but you must download that separately from their GIT Repository
+
+The following packages are included but not currently ported:
+
+ *  mmap_kit - our own invention to provide things needed by svgalib before these are merged into RTEMS
+ *  svgalib - (1.4.3) http://svgalib.org/
+ *  fltk - (1.1.10) http://www.fltk.org/
+
+We need nxlib from Microwindows to build fltk.  This will require us creating a small kit of X11 .h files and fonts so nxlib will build and run.  Then fltk should just build and work.
+= Building The Kit =
+
+
+Use the script "do_it" in the top directory.
+= Component Details =
+
+
+The RTEMS Graphics Toolkit has a variety of components in various states of usability on RTEMS.  For each component, there is a section following with details on:
+
+ *  Source: the version
+ *  Origin: Where did it come from?
+ *  Included in kit source: Is it in our CVS module or do you fetch it separately.
+ *  Status: Status of RTEMS support.

+
+Status: Working. Built by ''do_it''
+= RTEMS X11 Kit =
+
+
+Source: not yet
+
+Origin: TBD
+
+Included in kit source: Not currently.  Will be when implemented.
+
+Status: Needs to be built.
+
+This will contain the X11 header files and fonts needed by nxlib and fltk.  It is a prerequisite for supporting those.
+= NXLib =
+
+
+Source: nxlib HEAD
+
+Origin: http://www.microwin.org
+
+Included in kit source: Not currently. Fetch from their git repository.
+
+Status: Not building.  Needs "RTEMS X11 Kit"
+= MMap Kit =
+
+
+Source: mmap_kit directory
+
+Origin: RTEMS Project
+
+Included in kit source: Yes.
+
+Status: Needs work.
+
+The purpose of this package is to provide implementations of sys/mman.h and other things required by svgalib.  When working, these can be merged into RTEMS proper and this component deleted.
+= SVGA Library =
+
+
+Source: svgalib 1.4.3
+
+Origin: http://svgalib.org/
+
+Included in kit source: Yes.
+
+Status: Needs work.
+
+We have added a Makefile.rtems and instructions.  It needs work and supporting methods and .h files which are being added to ''mmap_kit''.  The goal is to minimize modifications to this package. 
+
+We need this to have better video drivers.  The pc386 video frame buffer driver is 16 color 640x480 VGA.  It also looks like this can be built for other architectures.
+= FLTK =
+
+
+Source: fltk 1.1.10
+
+Origin: http://www.fltk.org/
+
+Included in kit source: Yes.
+
+Status: Pending port of nxlib
+
+This includes a GUI builder and widgets.  This is the real baseline for building a GUI application.
