Description Olexiy Avramchenko 2004-10-15 10:06:53 UTC 
"gdk/makegdkalias.pl" script (and generated "gdk/gdkalias.h" in tarball) doesn't
include "gdk/linux-fb/gdkfb.h" header for linux-fb gdk target. This leads to
compilation fail after 'configure --with-gdktarget=linux-fb'.

PS: is there any reason to have pre-generated "gdkalias.h" (>180K plain or >12K
compressed) in tarball ?

Comment 2 Olexiy Avramchenko 2004-10-15 12:32:28 UTC 
gdk/linux-fb also has no two functions:
1) gdk_display_request_selection_notification
2) _gdk_windowing_window_destroy_foreign

As I can guess the first should be just a one-liner returning FALSE, as for
second - I'm lacking knowledge of linux-fb backend. If someone point me the
right direction I'll try to fix it.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2004-10-15 14:42:18 UTC 
I have committed the makegdkalias.pl patch. Regarding the missing functions, I'm
not sure it is really worth keeping a bug open for that, until we find someone
who is willing to maintain the framebuffer backend...
Comment 4 Olexiy Avramchenko 2004-10-16 14:54:23 UTC 
Just one more thing: doc-shooter tool from "docs/tools" depends on X11, so
compilation breaks on boxes without X11 devel - as I understand this will affect
win32 builds as well as linux-fb...

Looks like you're right about maintaining - GTK+-2.5 compiled with linux-fb
didn't work well on my box.

include gdkalias.h in some files

This patch, clear some mistakes in the compilation.
Comment 6 André Klapper 2006-10-09 22:57:53 UTC 
oleciy, john: is this still an issue or can this be closed as obsolete?
looks like the second patch has not been applied yet.

so... is the framebuffer backend maintained - yes or no? :-)
Comment 7 Matthias Clasen 2007-05-01 00:56:06 UTC 
Closing as obsolete, since the linux-fb backend is not maintained
