Re: Recent gtk+ on DirectFB

[Ersin Akinci <ersin akinci gmail com>]

Not sure if this would help anyone, or if it's particularly relevant, but I thought that I'd share my configure line for gtk+ 2.18.9, which works with my uClibc-based toolchain:

First, create a config.cache file with gio_can_sniff=${gio_can_sniff=yes} in it, then

PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/home/ersin/vorpo/toolchain/usr/lib/pkgconfig FFLAGS="-Os" CXXFLAGS="-Os" CFLAGS="-Os" ./configure --prefix=/home/ersin/vorpo/toolchain/usr --host=i386-linux --enable-static --disable-xkb --disable-xinerama --disable-glibtest --with-gdktarget=directfb --without-x --cache-file=config.cache --without-xinput --disable-xim --disable-modules

PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR and --prefix are just for my build environment, and I use gcc with a heavily modified specs file.  Sounds silly, but I haven't gotten around to testing if the programs compiled with it actually work; however, I got the GTK+ hello world tutorial program to compile.  Static linking is really annoying but works if you fidget around with -l flags enough.

We use GTK+-2.16.6 with DirectFB. Not saying that's the latest version that will work, it's just the last version we've cross compiled.

Subject: Re: Recent gtk+ on DirectFB

Does anyone know what versions of gtk+ *do* work well with the directfb backend?  I e-mailed this list asking for help in compiling gtk+ programs with only the directfb backend and never got a response (I did eventually fix it, it was a problem with my setup), but I haven't yet tried compiling anything complicated like gimp.

Are these patches already submitted to GTK+ Bugzilla [1]? If not,
could you attach them to a new bug report?

Thank you.
