Hi Paul, Is there a better way than this. Is there an environment variable that can be configured to pick the required directfb file from it. By having such a variable the deployment will be come easy. All we have to do is copy required libraries from your build system to any folder on root file system and set that environment flag to that particular directory. the job is done.
