HOWTO

# DirectFB 1.0.1
# ==============
# Prerequisites:
# Linux kernel >= 2.2.x with frame buffer device
# Perl
# man's man2html (optional)
# SDL (optional)
# libvncserver
# libsysfs
# libjpeg
# zlib
# libpng
# freetype
# libmpeg3 (optional)
# pkg-config

# To be able to run multiple DirectFB applications at once, you need to
# install the Fusion kernel module from CVS:
# http://www.directfb.org/index.php/viewcvs.cgi/linux-fusion/
# and you need to build DirectFB with --enable-multi. See the README for
# more info.
