Re: Failed building GTK with the DFB backend

[Attilio Fiandrotti <fiandro tiscali it>]

A couple of days ago mike checked in the patch that excludes from 
compilation some extra code that requires DFB 0.9.25 in the case DFN 
0.9.24 is used.
Use CVS sources or apply to GTK 2.9.4 gdkdirectfb.h and 
gdkwindow-directfb.c from current SVN.
If you're a Debian user and run on i386, simply install cairodfb and 
gtkdfb packages [1] which were made recently available (other archs will 
follow soon).
