Hello everyone, first of all, since I'm new to the list, I'd like to say my official hello. FPC is great, and it has recently contributed to renewing my interest in Pascal. Thanks to everyone involved!
In our spare time, a friend and I are now working on a small lightweight toolkit, called WiSeSLAp, for an audio application designed mainly for embedded devices. It currently uses SDL, but since we intend to eventually run it on top of DirectFB directly, I have created DirectFB 1.3 bindings for FPC which can be checked out from SVN. I hope it's not double work, but I really couldn't find any existing DFB-for-FPC projects. Included are two sample applications which at least work for us (one major problem is mentioned in the sources). Comments, suggestions, reports are greatly appreciated. If you co it from SVN, please be aware that it really is SVN code (alpha at best), and that it might not work, and that it might even crash your system. We test on Ubuntu 9.04 and Zenwalk 6.0 with DirectFB 1.0.1 binaries (should work with 1.0.1 and 1.3), from X and directly from the console. The code currently won't compile with Pascal compilers other than FPC. If a demo or your own DFB app segfaults on startup, you have probably forgotten to run at least one DFB task with root privileges (this is a DFB restriction, nothing to do with the bindings). DirectFB bindings on SVN for co: http://wiseslap.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wiseslap/foreign/directfb If you have libdirectfb.so (otherwise install the DFB package for your distro), just type 'make' and run the included DirectFBTestSimple or DirectFBTestImage programs (with su/sudo). WiSeSLAp trac: http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/wiseslap/wiki The original DFB project: http://www.directfb.org/ We recommend that you do *not* check out any other code from the WiSeSLAp SVN prior to the 'Baklava-devel' milestone, since it is not cleaned up, has known bugs, and is intended to be run only by people who know the code base. Cheers!
