<br>Hello,<br>I'm looking for an alternative to usplash in Ubuntu Dapper, and found the<br>splashy project and would like to try it. I'm running on amd64, and have a<br>hard time getting Splashy to work.<br><br>I have searched with google and tried compiling from source, but no luck. Do
<br>you have any suggestions how I do to install Splashy on Dapper 6.06?<br><br>Thank you in advance,<br>/Daniel</blockquote><div><br><br>The latest release of Splashy will not compile under Dapper. The reason is that we need libdirectfb .25 or up.
<br><br>You might be able to get an already compiled version (<a href="http://packages.debian.org">packages.debian.org</a>) that already works with Dapper. This is because Splashy is usually compiled statically, as it requires to work before /usr is mounted on many systems.
<br></div><br>The other solution would be to backport libdirectfb from the latest version of <a href="http://packages.debian.org">packages.debian.org</a> or <a href="http://archive.ubuntu.com">archive.ubuntu.com</a>. And then get the latest source code of Splashy from the subversion repository.
