Hi there,
As an introduction, I'd say that I'm a french FreeBSD developer,
sponsored by my company to provide support to free software in
general. FreeBSD is a very cool OS, well designed, rock stable...
Have a look at http://www.freebsd.org, but I'm sure you've already
eared about it.
I was recently looking for a graphic environment for embedded systems
and found the GGI pages. Seem's to be very good software, but
unfortunatly not supported by *BSD. So, let's try a port.
This is the reason why I join the list today.
Thanks for your help!

It works. It was due to the missing -lc_r, argh. Hopefully libc_r
and libc are being merged in the FreeBSD project.
Here is a summary of the how demo programs work:
demo
----
Starts, waits for the key input, then after a long time, it draws
the page of colored text. It appears that only the last frame is
actually displayed. Then the same result for the various other
frames.
flying_ggis

ok.
pageflip

/usr/lib/libc.so: WARNING! des_cipher(3) not present in the system!
/usr/lib/libc.so: warning: tempnam() possibly used unsafely; consider using mkstemp()
Would it be possible to avoid these warnings?

Tell me the debug level you need to understand this.
