[Splashy-users] splashy and Graphics Card's native fb driver

[Luis]

Hello Kushal,

To install Splashy from sources you can follow the following information:

http://splashy.alioth.debian.org/wiki/doku.php?id=installation

Essentially you will need to:

1. download the libdirectfb-dev sources from Debian

- edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add a deb-src line with:
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main

- apt-get update
- cd /tmp
- apt-get build-dep libdirectfb-dev
- apt-get source -b libdirectfb-dev

2. after installing libdirectfb-dev:

- apt-get build-dep splashy
- apt-get source -b splashy

and that's it.
