Installing GUIslice on Raspberry Pi

Overview >

Installing & Running on Raspberry Pi

Installing Prerequisites

• Installing Raspbian and PiTFT configuration

  • The following was written for the PiTFT 2.8" display, but a similar setup should accommodate other displays (such as WaveShare)
  • Installing PiTFT on Raspberry Pi

• Installing SDL1.2

  • Installing SDL 1.2 for Raspberry Pi

• Installing tslib

  • In my experience, it seems that the native SDL touch handling is not very reliable. Instead, I recommend that the tslib library is installed instead:
  • Installing tslib for Raspberry Pi

• Old Archived Installation pages

  • The original installation guide pages can be located at:
  • Installing PiTFT in LINUX
  • Installing SDL 1.2 for Raspberry Pi
  • Installing tslib for Raspberry Pi

Installing GUIslice

• Download the GUIslice library
  • Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/ImpulseAdventure/GUIslice
• Modify the GUIslice config file (GUIslice_config.h) in the /src folder to select your device setup
  • Please refer to Configuring GUIslice for details

Compiling GUIslice

• GUIslice comes with a Makefile that can be used directly with the make command, but it is also possible to use cmake.
• For example:

cd examples/linux
make ex02_lnx_btn_txt

• Please refer to Compiling under LINUX for details and alternate options

Running GUIslice

• Compile the examples as in the previous step
• Run the examples:

sudo ./ex02_lnx_btn_txt
