Help?

[marcnicholas]

Hi,

I'd love to get this working as it would solve a problem for me (node.js directly a frame buffer on an embedded Linux device is exactly what I'd love to do!).

But I don't have much of a clue where to start? Does this code drop into the DirectFB project?

Thanks!

My github project is just the JavaScript bindings. You also need the
DirectFB libs and Node

A good place to start is building the DirectFB for your target. Then
build Node.js.

After these are working then you can build the bindings.

If you grab a snapshot of the original project you will see
instructions and a Makefile. The link is here -->
http://git.directfb.org/?p=ports/v8-directfb.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/master

The original project generates the JavaScript bindings with Perl
script. If you run the Makefile it will create a bunch of .cc files
similar to the ones in my github project.

Since I am not a Perl script coder, I worked on the expanded files
only. Replace/compare the files with my versions. The examples
folder has working example scripts.

As I mention, it is not a complete implementation of the directFB.
But if there is a symbol or function that is not reachable from
JavaScript it is usually easy enough to follow an existing binding.

I am also available for hire if there is opportunity.

Good Luck,

Mark

In this module, can I use a display with touchscreen? Are touch events detected?
