I have directfb up and working, but I haven’t been able to get <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">cairo</st1:place></st1:City> to draw to a directfb surface. I can provide sample code, but I’m inclined to think this is more of a case that I’m not building everything correctly.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> In the past I’ve seen pango/cairo draw to directfb at that time I think I was working with earlier versions of all the related libraries. I’ve upgraded virtually everything since then. Currently I’m working with <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">cairo</st1:place></st1:City> 1.8.0, pixman 0.12.0, Directfb 1.2.4 (I’ve also tried out 1.3 for this with no change in behavior). I also tried to revert back to the previous builds but I’ve lost something in the process and can’t figure out how I made it work before.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> The intended goal is to display text with pango/cairo, but when I started having trouble I backed off and attempted to produce <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">cairo</st1:place></st1:City> drawings. With that not succeeding I also tried out several test programs the most notable of which is from <a href="http://zetcode.com/tutorials/cairographicstutorial/">http://zetcode.com/tutorials/cairographicstutorial/</a>, the PNG image program from Cairo Backends. All it does is write some text to the screen, and I replaced the text output with shape output. This program and the variation compile and run fine on my Linux PC, but when I build it for the arm board the program runs, produces the PNG file of the correct size, but not text or shape output.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I believe that this is a build issue on my end, possibly linked to the fact that directfb is not fully supported in the 1.8.0 release. I’m including an excerpt of my configure and make targets in this in case something jumps out at people.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> configure: prepare<o:p></o:p>             ( cd $X; \<o:p></o:p>               export CC=$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc ; \<o:p></o:p>               export CXX=$(CROSS_COMPILE)g++ ; \<o:p></o:p>               export AR="$(CROSS_COMPILE)ar" ; \<o:p></o:p>               export RANLIB=$(CROSS_COMPILE)ranlib ; \<o:p></o:p>               export STRIP=$(CROSS_COMPILE)strip ; \<o:p></o:p>               export CPPFLAGS="-I$(TOOLS_TARGET)/usr/include" ; \<o:p></o:p>               export CFLAGS="-DCAIRO_HAS_UTF8_TO_UTF16" ; \<o:p></o:p>               export LDFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath,$(TOOLS_TARGET)/usr/lib ; \<o:p></o:p>               export ac_cv_lib_z_compress=yes ; \<o:p></o:p>               export cairo_cv_pdf_use=yes ; \<o:p></o:p>               export have_libz=yes ; \<o:p></o:p>               ax_cv_c_float_words_bigendian=no \<o:p></o:p>               ./configure \<o:p></o:p>                                     --host=arm-linux\<o:p></o:p>                                     --prefix=/usr\<o:p></o:p>                                     --enable-directfb=yes\<o:p></o:p>                                     --enable-freetype=yes\<o:p></o:p>                                     --enable-ft=yes\<o:p></o:p>                                     --enable-xlib=no\<o:p></o:p>                                     --enable-xlib-xrender=no\<o:p></o:p>                                     )<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> build: configure<o:p></o:p>             ax_cv_c_float_words_bigendian=no \<o:p></o:p>             $(MAKE) -C $X test<o:p></o:p>             ax_cv_c_float_words_bigendian=no \<o:p></o:p>             $(MAKE) -C $X all<o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html> <HTML><BODY><PRE> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The information in this email and its attachment(s) are intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and should be assumed to contain confidential and/or privileged information.
