Hmm the current CVS is running agianst the gnome CVS its not tied to a version number. So its in development mode. There is no gdkdirectfb backend for the 2.6 series. I'm working on it now and there are a number of bugs mainly related to Cairo support which itself is in flux. My plan was to get everything working soon after the 2.8 gtk release which is sometime this summer.
My suggestion would be to use the X11 version and try to work with the current 2.8 gtk cvs and flip later. I am at least successful and moving between backends x11/gdk as I check for bugs and there are a few. I'm guessing that the gdk backend won't be stable for at least a few months and even then probably not widely usable till after gtk 2.8 ships because gtk itself is in major flux right now. Now you can back down the gtk version I think 2.02 or something thats the last stable port. Or you could consider the last version of gtk that worked with the interal frambuffer support if only single application support for the ui is okay. ( It did not compile for me and I'm not sure its maintained) With all that said I do have binaries if you really really want them :) Mike On 5/8/05, attilio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > I'm involved in debian development and i'm actually working on the gtk > frontend for the debian-installer (the plans for post-sarge relase are > to implement a graphic installation system based on gtk). > Actually the gtk frontend module seems to work on a "X bench-test" (go > to http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/05/msg00242.html to see the > last news). > The directframebuffer gdk layer would be better for the debian installer > but at the moment it crashes too much (gives serious memory corruption > problems). > The tests where made with the 2.0.9-2 precompiled gtk found on dfb web > site; i've also tried to compile many different gdk from dfb cvs with > the 2.6.7 gtk but i could never pass thru the make stage. > Could someone please tell me where to find, if any, some precompiled > more recent libgtk-directfb libgdk_pixbuf libgdk-directfb to do some > testing? > > ciao > > Attilio > > _______________________________________________ > directfb-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev > _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
