-To give it a try, you first need DirectFB (at least version 0.9.17)
-available from http://www.directfb.org/. Then you need to get your
-hands on a recent version of GTK+-2.0. The latest release (gtk+-2.8.10)
-should work.
-
-Here are urls for the current for all the source needed to build the current latest gtk release
-
-ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.8/atk-1.10.3.tar.gz
-ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.8/glib-2.8.5.tar.gz
-ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.8/pango-1.10.2.tar.gz
-ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.8/gtk+-2.8.10.tar.gz
-
-If you don't have tiff i.e stock debian is a the url.
-ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/tiff-3.8.0.tar.gz
-The default build will fail without it.
-
-You also need the latest version of cairo from CVS it contains
-support for a DirectFB backend and should be avialable in the next
-cairo release.
-
-
-cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/cairo co cairo
-
-
-
-Alternatively checkout GTK+ from CVS. Place this
-directory into the gdk subdirectory of your GTK+ tree and rename it
-to directfb. Then change to the toplevel GTK+ directory and apply
-gtk-directfb.patch there is now a mkpatch shell script which should
-correctly automate creating the directfb target via:
-
- ./mkpatch apply
- cd ../../; make && make install
-
-If this fails the older instructions are still available. Note that several
-file must be regenerated with the auto tools.
-
-
-
- patch -p0 < gdk/directfb/gtk-directfb.patch
-
-Regenerate the configure script and the Makefiles by calling automake
-and autoconf. Then rebuild GTK+ using the '--with-gdktarget=directfb'
-configure option.
-
-
-Alternatively you can download a version of GTK+ that includes the
-DirectFB GDK backend and has the patches already applied, see
-
