Hi everybody,
 
I am newbie to directfb, I have few doubts regarding support for nios2 (mmu -less, soft core processor) in directfb.
Please if possible help me with directfb understandings, my question are with respect to adding support for nios2 arch and how much directfb depends on arch.
 
I have downloaded latest directfb library from directfb.org site. After this I added the configuration support in config.sub file for nios2 architecture for passing ./configuration.
Now I can give " ./configuration --build=nios2 --host=i386 --prefix=~/usr/local " 
Its passing with cross-compilation as yes.
After that I gave make and make install, doing so I got bin, lib, shared ... directories in ~/usr/local
 
Now, my doubt is can I compile directfb apps on framebuffer with nios2  cross-compiler ??
How much directfb apps or lib are dependent on architecture, when compile directfb apps for cross-platform how much dependencies are required ??
 
Can I just add support for nios2 in config.sub and my apps will pass as any other cross-platform (like arm, mips etc).
 
Nios sepcific details
----------------------------
Nios is no-mmu processor, uclinux work on nios, there is no fork(), so we use vfork(), also we use uclibc.
 
Kindly share your cross-compilation experience on any arch with respect to directfb.
 
thanks in advance,
 
Ankur Maheshwari
