[Feature Request]: cargo-3ds support

[lexi-the-cute]

One of the dependencies of winit cannot compile under cargo-3ds. I can't remember which one it is off the top of my head, so I'll have to try to rebuild again either tonight after work or tomorrow. I asked about it on the Nintendo Homebrew Discord (https://discord.gg/C29hYvh), but I'm not sure that have experience with Rust and Winit

I'll send more info after I test again

The crate is rustix

Hmm, I suspect you're gonna have trouble running Winit on the 3DS, I don't think that one uses a window managing system that Winit supports?

The 3DS uses raw frame buffers, which has been decided to be out-of-scope for winit.

[lexi-the-cute]

what do you propose i should use instead? preferably something that's interchangeable with existing winit code so it can be easily swapped between it and winit depending on the target?

[notgull]

At one point we were talking about setting up a crate to deal with raw framebuffers. This also comes up when dealing with DRM/KMS on Linux, for instance. Then winit could have a backend that uses that crate to simulate a single-window environment (like a kiosk).

Admittedly this is pretty low-priority for us on the roadmap, as there are more pressing items to look into as well as very few people on the winit team who are experienced in dealing with raw framebuffers. If there is a lot of community interest then we can expedite this.
