Re: Has anyone built gtkextra(-2) using gdk framebuffer support (directfb/linux-fb)?

	Hmm...   I did the install, although I'll need to check to be sure all
the bits ended up in the right places.  I didn't think about the
pkg-config stuff, thanks for noting that.  Other GTK apps I have on my
box rebuild correctly and use the linux-fb libs, so I'm pretty sure the
install happened correctly.

	Adrian: did the "--with-gdktarget=linux-fb" option in the gtkextra
configure script come along for free in the configure script you started
with, or did you add/leave it in there knowing it would work?  I'm just
curious what your original thoughts were on the linux-fb support in
gtkextra, so I know where I'm starting from...   8^)=

	Thanks for the offer!  In my case, I am targeting an embedded pc system
with 32MB flash disk for everything I need to do.  I'd rather avoid X
altogether if I can manage it, although if the linux-fb stuff ultimately
doesn't work out I may need to reconsider...

	Thanks!
