Since my BIOS has only about 8MB of space, I take Evas + Edje. May I ask what is pre-merge?
And what really confuses me is I'm not porting it on any OS, just an environment with framebuffer support, so any OS based config would not work on my base, still working on stripping the code and figure out why MinGW always fails on me.. > Hi, > > this is quite of a hard task and I'd request you to evaluate the > requirements before digging much.
