Splashy error

[wmhrae]

How can I resolve this continues error on my Slackware version12

gcc: /usr/lib/directfb-1.0-0/systems/libdirectfb_fbdev.o: No such file or directory
gcc: /usr/lib/directfb-1.0-0/wm/libdirectfbwm_default.o: No such file or directory

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/splashy/trunk'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Even after rebuilding and building older version of directfb it continues to tel me that these files are missing.

all of these missing files exist in *.la *.a *.so etc but not in *.o

During build should I specify to build with *.o extensions ???

I would be hapy to know how to resolve this problem

Thanks for now !!!

Within this thread, they say to get it work by recompiling directfb with --enable-static --enable-sysfs=no.

I didn't verify...

Bye,

you have 2 choice:

1 you have to recompile with ./configure --enalble static
freetype
sysutils
glib2

and patch directfb with this

and ricompile with --enable-static

2 Use the package at this link

ready to splashy


Do you know a method to install splashy in initrd?

Thanks to you all for your speedy and well eplained help ! Now Slacky is working

Next step is to have it running of lilo

I did this :

# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
lba32 # Allow booting past 1024th cylinder with a recent BIOS
append="splash quiet"
boot = /dev/hda
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 1200
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
reset
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
vga = 791

append="splash quiet"

And that's all?
it doesn't work for me....

"splashy test" works

but there is no any splash during the boot.

[Lockywolf]

it looks like it needs some /lib/lsb/init-functions

and depends on package lsb-base

this lsb-base exists in debian but i cannot find anything like it in slackware

by the way, who can advise any slackware theme ?
