Minimal Linux that can run a Qt GUI application

Question

I am making a console for homegrown video games (a simple low-specialized PC) that will constantly run one application (game) that will be created with Qt (this is a requirement, preferably with gpu acceleration). Thus, the OS should be easy to load as quickly as possible and run the game.

How can this be achieved? Are there any Linux distributions that already fit my needs? Whats with embedded linux? (I'm new to linux setup)

thanks

Answer 2

Interest Ask! I see more than one way to do this. But for the prototype, you can use something like Suse Studio - http://susestudio.com/ to create a minimal distribution for you.

Another interesting area would be to use, for example, a phone such as the Nokia N900 , which is based on Linux and uses QT as one of the technologies available to run graphical interfaces. Perhaps he already has hardware acceleration and a TV-out.

Answer 3

Take a look at MeeGo .

Answer 4

There are tools to create distros for you. Could make your life easier. You will need to find out the minimum Qt requirements from them and add them to your distribution when creating it.
