Source: directfb Version: 1.2.10.0-8 Severity: important Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
When installing the Debian Stretch directfb package on an embedded armhf platform that has no X-Windows, I encountered both my application, and the dfbinfo application failing because it failed to find the systems/libdirectfb_fbdev.so systems library, and was instead falling back and attempting to load the X11 systems library. This failed because I do not have (nor desire to have) X11 configured on this system. So, in short, the problem is that /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/directfb-1.2.9/systems/libdirectfb_fbdev.so is not installed, and thus using DirectFB with a framebuffer does not function, despite the support being built into DirectFB. I expect that /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/directfb-1.2.9/systems/libdirectfb_fbdev.so should be installed. I investigated, and found sid's version of the directfb package includes systems/libdirectfb_fbdev.so - and found the commit that fixed the issue there - this is essentially a backport of that fix: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-multimedia/directfb.git/commit/debian/libdirectfb-1.7-7.install?h=debian/1.7.7-6&id=d8c1e58e5e9ec7458888781f50d4f7b1ce2cc19c I dug around the commits from the directfb Stretch release and found related commits that introduced the breakage (fixing non-linux installs): https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-multimedia/directfb.git/commit/?h=debian/1.2.10.0-8&id=699a54bed0cceb20b70a8e674493e110e13b9949 https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-multimedia/directfb.git/diff/debian/libdirectfb-1.2-9.install?h=debian/1.2.10.0-8&id=c99b82a0575a1e8af7c6b4d32520eee90ae03ade The fix for this is to modify the lines in the installation file debian/libdirectfb-1.2-9.install changing the '[linux]' prefixed lines to '[linux-any]'. This directs the build tools to package the matching files when building for any Linux platforms. I'm not sure what [linux] without the -any part actually means. I have a patch file I have tested that fixes this. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: armhf (armv7l) Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-xilinx-dirty (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
