Hello, Firstly, sorry if my english is not very good sometimes... Second, I'm trying to make a GUI Installer for Fw.
I find in TODO list 0.9 : "5) graphical installer when we were at 0.1 i thought a graphical installer for 1.0 is a musthave. nowadays i'm not that sure. if we want it, how do we want it? having a so-called installer (which in fact isn't a real installer) like Ubuntu has? (fwlive+a pygtk or pyqt script) or do we want a real graphical installer like Fedora does? i think a graphical installer is more like the later, but that's more complicated and i'm not too motivated to code it :S" Always the same question : how do you want it ? :) In the first case, it's "easy" to make (using Gtk). In the second case, to avoid X system, we need to use linux framebuffer (I don't know any other solution). So, can I use directfb in this case? In fact, I started to work with it. But today, maybe I found another solution. Can we make a "fedora like" installer whom can be used from fwlive too? I remember that GTK have a directfb backend. So, I compile GTK (with cairo and pango) without X support to make a test with a basic GTK program coded in C. Program work with X11 GTK library and seems to work correctly out of an X environnement when it's linked with directfb GTK library. Both solutions are fine for me (directfb or gtk), but what do you think about? ;) Thank you very much Elentir _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
