Re: Gtk+ on DirectFb (sample example fails with "DirectFb/Fbdev Caught Signal 11")

["Arun Patole" <webkit arunp gmail com>]

Well, the fix i applied may not be the proper one, i just wanted see it getting build.

Build was broken with multiple definition of many symbols. when looked at code, i found many function declared in both gdk/gdkwindow.c and gdk/directfb/gdkwindow-difectfb.c. and both files were used for building gdk-directfb and so it complained. I just ignored(commented) multiple definition symbols from gdkwindow.c and build gtk+. I tried to find out if there is any make file flag/configuration to avoid this errors but couldn't see any.

Then i wrote a sample gtk+ program and tried to run it on my virtual arm system but it crashed as detailed in my last post.

I even tried using using gtk+-directfb available on directfb.org but it also seems to be broken.

I think directFb works fine as i could run directfb examples successfully.

Anyone has any idea what specific patches needs to be applied on gtk+ to make build successfully on directFB backend??

Thanks,
-Arun

The latest Gtk+ for DirectFB is broken because nobody who uses DirectFB
stepped up to bring it back in shape. I've seen countless attempts at
using it but nobody who was up to fix it.

What did you do to fix it, and how do you test it?
