Conclusion: The wiki for building GTK-DFB on top of DirectFB has just been updated, and it appears more robust/refined than the hint I was going to write. I no longer see a need for a separate BLFS hint, so I won't be writting one. The link is below: http://directfb.org/wiki/inde

After doing some research, it seems like directfb would be the easiest way to put gimp on on an lfs machine. It also seems that installing it isn't easy enough for _me_. Is there any interest among the blfs developers to write/update the directfb build instructions? Directfb will be
