I have been fighting the whole Sunday to make a patch to the debian package gtk+2.0 so that it produces also a library with the directfb backend. Until now I have maneged to make a separate set of targets in the debian/rules. Still there are some problems because in the Debian package it seems that the configure* files have also some .orig counterparts and I haven't figured yet what is the flow of the things during the build for these files. (directfb gdk-target is still not visible, because the configure* files are rewritten - this is the most recent info I have, but I had to blindly try to compile the package and went on a wrong track for some time causing me to waste about 4-5 hours). I am still unsure about the way I should tell the build system to use the cairo.so file provided by the libcairo2-directfb-dev package (Dave, I fear that symlinks will be necessary for this file, too). Also I am not sure if the so file should not be called something like cairo-directfb.so, but am so unsure of these things that i think nothing should be done until this issue is calrified. Now I think I got the general idea behind the build process of gtk+2.0 Debian package and I hope I will manage to get tonight the direcfb library to build. -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
