Throwing Gtk+ and DirectFB up against the wall to see what sticks:



Hello,

 

I have a potential customer with an existing technology base using ilixi and DirectFB, running TimeSys Linux (2.6.x) on an i.MX53 from Freescale. (ARM Cortex A8)

The customer wants to develop a new product based on this platform, but wants the additional capabilities of Gtk+ 3.8.x without losing the advantages of DirectFB 1.6.3.

 

I know Gtk+ and DirectFB have been divorced for a few years, but Cairo still has some support for DirectFB, and Gtk uses Cairo…

 

The customer wants to restore the old Gtk on DirectFB capability.

 

Can anyone please describe your impression of why Gtk+ doesn’t support interaction with DirectFB today and what challenges you see in reconciling these products today?

 

Are you aware of any work being done in this capacity that I might be able to piggy back off of?

 

Thank you so much for your consideration.   I look forward to hearing from you.
