Building DirectFB on Linux
Download
Download the following DirectFB tarballs:
- Mandatory tarballs:
- DirectFB-0.9.24.tar.gz
- linux-fusion-1.1.tar.gz
- Optional tarballs:
- DirectFBGL-0.9.23.tar.gz
- FusionSound-0.9.23.tar.gz
Read the DirectFB documentation carefully. You will need it to properly configure your system for use with DirectFB.
Unpack DirectFB-0.9.24.tar.gz:
$> tar -xzvf DirectFB-0.9.24.tar.gz -C directory_where_to_unpack
Build Driver
Build Fusion DirectFB driver
To build the fusion device driver the source for the Linux kernel your system is running must be installed. If this is the case then continue with the following sequence of actions. If not then skip this chapter and continue with building DirectFB itself.
Unpack Linux Fusion driver (linux-fusion-1.1.tar.gz):
$> tar -xzvf linux-fusion-1.1.tar.gz -C directory_where_to_unpack
Build the DirectFB's fusion driver:
$> cd /linux-fusion-1.1/ $> make
And as root (hint: su - root):
$> make install
Copy fusion.h into /usr/include/linux directory:
$> cp linux/include/linux/fusion.h /usr/include/linux
Build DirectFB
Unpack DirectFB-0.9.24.tar.gz:
$> tar -xzvf DirectFB-0.9.24.tar.gz -C directory_where_to_unpack
Configure DirectFB:
$> cd /DirectFB-0.9.24/
If the Fusion DirectFB driver has been compiled and installed against your running version of the Linux kernel, then the DirectFB configure-line looks like this: (If not the --enable-multi can be omitted.)
$> ./configure --enable-multi $> make
Compiling VideoLAN VLC
Checkout the Git version from the trunk directory or download one of the nightly snapshots. Then configure VLC using the following commandline:
$> ./bootstrap $> ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-directfb --with-directfb=directory_where_to_unpack/DirectFB-0.9.24 $> make
