I am not trying to install the graphics drivers which is why I used with-gfxdrivers=none and we have no inputs on the system except for some push buttons, so input drivers are not required. >If you copied over the libraries manually, you also need to copy the following directory: > > /usr/lib/directfb-1.1-0 I Copied this directory over, but neither gfxdrivers nore inputdrivers folders are listed there. These are the commands I used to configure and build: ./configure --disable-sdl --disable-osx --disable-x11 --disable-mmx --disable-sse --disable-vnc --disable-video4linux --with-gfxdrivers=none --with-inputdrivers=none --disable-sysfs --disable-network --disable-jpeg --disable-zlib --prefix=/usr --host=arm-linux --target=arm-linux --build=-i686-redhat-linux-gnu Make Make install prefix=/opt/arcom/arm-linux/usr (I wanted to use just /opt/arcom/arm-linux/ here but I got too many complaints when trying to make install - requires me to do a little tweaking when compiling directfb applications). Make install-strip DESTDIR=/tmp/directfb <<this is so I can zip it all up and copy it over to the target board. >For a user interface you should have a look at LiTE, Disko or GTK+, while the first >one has the least overhead, but also the least features at the moment.

I need to display some graphs, and some other information such as the time and system information with a few other messages. This will be the only graphic application running full screen 100% of the time and it will take its inputs from a few push buttons. Is it still recommended to look into LiTE and those other ones?
