Hi!

I'm thinking about attempting a simple note-taking app for the iliad. I'm not very versed in GUI development, so I looked around and found that the cairo library would probably be suitable for what I want to do.

Now, it doesn't seem to be delivered with the iliad, so if I wanted to use it I would have to cross compile it.

I guess my question is if anyone has any experience on using cairo on the iliad, or if it is possible at all?

What would some alternatives be? I basically just need a simple drawing app, and some scaling (zooming).
