Re: Failed building GTK with the DFB backend

[Attilio Fiandrotti <fiandro tiscali it>]

I apologize for my mistake: only now i realize taht getposition() and 
getsize() were introduced *after* DFB 0.9.25 was released!

Yesterday mike checked in a patch ("Added ifdef to compile with 0.9.24 
removes creating a child GdkWindow since it u...") that allows GTK+ to 
be compiled against DFB >= 0.9.24 (so, also 0.9.25 will do)

The correct recipe is:

DFB >= 0.9.24
GTK+ HEAD from CVS
