[Splashy-devel] Re: Fwd: libdirectfb ft2.a

Sun Feb 26 00:51:47 UTC 2006

Hello Guillem,

Ah, you are the reason why Splashy tt font support is working now... I
didn't realize it. I installed the latest package included in Ubuntu
Dapper (perhaps that's the one you are talking about).

Good. And thanks for taking time to reply to my requests... As of now
everything seems to be working (for the most part). We are still using
our own directfb-config script. I might venture into using the one
included in your package to see if it allows me to compile splashy.
Right now this is what we do to get splashy compiled statically:

$> ./directfb-config --cflags --libs --graphics=all
--imageprovider=gif,png,jpeg --input=keyboard --font=default,ft2

Now the same thing with the included directfb-config:

$> directfb-config --cflags --libs --graphics=all
--imageprovider=gif,png,jpeg --input=keyboard --font=default,ft2
-I/usr/include/directfb -D_REENTRANT
-static

-lfreetype/usr/lib/directfb-0.9.22/interfaces/IDirectFBImageProvider/libidirectfbimageprovider_gif.o

-lpng -lz -lm /usr/lib/directfb-0.9.22/interfaces/IDirectFBImageProvider/libidirectfbimageprovider_jpeg.o
-ljpeg
-L/usr/lib/directfb-0.9.22/inputdrivers

/usr/lib/directfb-0.9.22/gfxdrivers/libdirectfb_all.o
-L/usr/lib -ldirectfb -lfusion -ldirect -lpthread -lz

As you can see, the "all" option is not allowed, so, i need to do some
magic to allow all drivers. For now i simply hard coded it to do:

DFB = $(shell directfb-config --cflags --libs
--graphics=ati128,ch64.so,cle266,cyber5k,deon.so,i810,i830,mach64,matrox,neogic.so,neomagic,nsc,nvidia,nvid.so,radeon,sage.so,savage,sis315,tdfx,trox.so,unichrome
--imageprovider=gif,png,jpeg --input=keyboard --font=default,ft2 | sed
s/\.o /\.a /g )

In our src/Makefile.am. That kinda works but i get these errors:

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc  -g -O2   -o splashy

I just don't think that the directfb-config package from upstream does
the right thing to allow static compilation. I'll reply to my own post
on directfb-users, now that the font support works, to let them know
how I got it to work. Perhaps they use my changes to directfb-config
upstream.

Thanks for you help anyway Guillem. I'll keep updating directfb as you
upload the packages to the debian repository.
