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 | |
26 | to specify that the wxDFB port should be built. You'll also need to disable | |
27 | wxWidgets features that don't work in wxDFB yet: | |
28 | ||
29 | $ ./configure --with-directfb \ | |
30 | --with-themes=mono \ | |
31 | --disable-accel \ | |
32 | --disable-popupwin \ | |
33 | --disable-help \ | |
34 | --disable-combobox \ | |
35 | --disable-menus \ | |
36 | --disable-mdi \ | |
37 | --disable-mdidoc \ | |
38 | --disable-docview \ | |
39 | --disable-printarch \ | |
40 | --disable-calendar \ | |
41 | --disable-choice \ | |
42 | --disable-choicebook \ | |
43 | --disable-dirdlg \ | |
44 | --disable-filedlg \ | |
45 | --disable-fontdlg \ | |
46 | --disable-filepicker \ | |
47 | --disable-dirpicker \ | |
48 | --disable-fontpicker \ | |
49 | --disable-datepick \ | |
50 | --disable-hyperlink \ | |
51 | --disable-aui \ | |
52 | --disable-richtext | |
53 | $ make | |

56 | Configuring fonts | |
57 | ----------------- | |
58 | ||
59 | DirectFB doesn't have native fonts configuration mechanism (such as | |
60 | fontconfig used by GTK+) and so wxDFB implements a simple configuration | |
61 | mechanism itself. | |
62 | ||
63 | No fonts are installed and configured by "make install", you have to manually | |
64 | configure fonts after you install the library. | |
65 | ||
66 | wxDFB looks the fonts up in directories specified in the WXDFB_FONTPATH | |
67 | environment variable (separated with :, similarly to the PATH variable). If | |
68 | the variable is not set, $prefix/share/wx/fonts directory is used. All | |
69 | subdirectories of the directories on the path are scanned for FontsIndex | |
70 | files. These files are parsed and fonts defined in them are added to the fonts | |
71 | list. | |
72 | ||
73 | The FontsIndex file is standard wxFileConfig file text file. Each toplevel | |
74 | group specifies one font bundle, font's name is the name of group. Group's | |
75 | entries look like this: | |
76 | ||
77 | [Font Name] | |
78 | # font files (at least one of them must be present): | |
79 | Regular=RegularFaceFile.ttf | |
80 | Italic=ItalicFaceFile.ttf | |
81 | Bold=BoldFaceFile.ttf | |
82 | BoldItalic=BoldItalicFaceFile.ttf | |
83 | # optional tag indicating this font is fixed-with (default is false): | |
84 | IsFixed=1 | |
85 | ||
86 | Additionally, there may be DefaultXXX entries at the toplevel for every family | |
87 | XXX and a Default entry that is shortcut for setting all families' default, | |
88 | their value is name of the default font: | |
89 | ||
90 | # optional tags indicating the default font for given family: | |
91 | DefaultDecorative=Font Name | |
92 | DefaultRoman=Font Name | |
93 | DefaultScript=Font Name | |
94 | DefaultSwiss=Font Name | |
95 | DefaultModern=Font Name | |
96 | DefaultTeletype=Font Name | |
97 | # indicate the font that is default for all families (optional): | |
98 | Default=Font Name | |
99 | ||
100 | Any font formats supported by DirectFB (which typically includes formats | |
101 | supported by the FreeType library) can be used. | |
102 | ||
