1 | wxWidgets for DirectFB installation |
| 2 | =================================== | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | IMPORTANT NOTE: | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | wxDFB is currently incomplete and some parts of the wxWidgets library | |
| 7 | don't yet compile and must be disabled during configuration. In particular, | |
| 8 | the coverage of wxDC API is limited. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | ||
| 11 | Dependencies | |
| 12 | ------------ | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | wxDFB requires the DirectFB library (http://www.directfb.org), which must | |
| 15 | be installed before compiling wxDFB. | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | ||
| 18 | Compiling | |
| 19 | --------- | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | Compilation is done in the standard Unix fashion, using configure and make. | |
| 22 | Please refer to e.g. wxGTK's install.txt for details if you are unfamiliar | |
| 23 | with configure. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | When configuring, use the --with-directfb option instead of e.g. --with-gtk | |
| 065761f2 VS |
26 | to specify that the wxDFB port should be built. You may also need to disable |
| 27 | wxUniv themes that don't work in wxDFB yet (alternatively you can set the | |
| 28 | WXTHEME environment variable to "mono"): | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | $ ./configure --with-directfb --with-themes=mono | |

31 | $ make |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | ||
| 34 | Configuring fonts | |
| 35 | ----------------- | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | DirectFB doesn't have native fonts configuration mechanism (such as | |
| 38 | fontconfig used by GTK+) and so wxDFB implements a simple configuration | |
| 39 | mechanism itself. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | No fonts are installed and configured by "make install", you have to manually | |
| 42 | configure fonts after you install the library. | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | wxDFB looks the fonts up in directories specified in the WXDFB_FONTPATH | |
| 45 | environment variable (separated with :, similarly to the PATH variable). If | |
| 46 | the variable is not set, $prefix/share/wx/fonts directory is used. All | |
| 47 | subdirectories of the directories on the path are scanned for FontsIndex | |
| 48 | files. These files are parsed and fonts defined in them are added to the fonts | |
| 49 | list. | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | The FontsIndex file is standard wxFileConfig file text file. Each toplevel | |
| 52 | group specifies one font bundle, font's name is the name of group. Group's | |
| 53 | entries look like this: | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | [Font Name] | |
| 56 | # font files (at least one of them must be present): | |
| 57 | Regular=RegularFaceFile.ttf | |
| 58 | Italic=ItalicFaceFile.ttf | |
| 59 | Bold=BoldFaceFile.ttf | |
| 60 | BoldItalic=BoldItalicFaceFile.ttf | |
| 61 | # optional tag indicating this font is fixed-with (default is false): | |
| 62 | IsFixed=1 | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | Additionally, there may be DefaultXXX entries at the toplevel for every family | |
| 65 | XXX and a Default entry that is shortcut for setting all families' default, | |
| 66 | their value is name of the default font: | |
| 67 | ||
| 68 | # optional tags indicating the default font for given family: | |
| 69 | DefaultDecorative=Font Name | |
| 70 | DefaultRoman=Font Name | |
| 71 | DefaultScript=Font Name | |
| 72 | DefaultSwiss=Font Name | |
| 73 | DefaultModern=Font Name | |
| 74 | DefaultTeletype=Font Name | |
| 75 | # indicate the font that is default for all families (optional): | |
| 76 | Default=Font Name | |
| 77 | ||
| 78 | Any font formats supported by DirectFB (which typically includes formats | |
| 79 | supported by the FreeType library) can be used. | |
