[Splashy-users] splashy v3.3 on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn - progress bar not working

[Ivars Strazdins]

Hello Luigi and Vincent,
actually my goal was to compile and use splashy on Fedora, not on Ubuntu 
Feisty.
I just wanted to see if I can make splashy work at all since there were 
Debian packages already in place.

Now I fight with compilation on Fedora 6. Should I address my questions 
to splashy-devel list? Or come to #splashy channel on irc?
I recompiled and installed static versions of freetype and directfb 
(v1.0 since it has splashy patch included).
But now I am stuck with another compilation error:
...
