fbv neutered

fbv neutered

[Ulf Samuelsson]

I added "fbv" "frame buffer viewer" to the file system,
and happily tried to watch my Mustang rental car.

-- fbv did not recognize the file format.

Generated a nice bmp file and tried this...

--  fbv did not recognize the file format.

I then checked the recipe:


---------------------------------
	CC="${CC}" ./configure --without-libungif --without-bmp \
		--without-libjpeg
---------------------------------

Beats me why someone would want to have it built this way.

Is there another application one should use?

Minimalistic, yeah baby!  Probably PNG support is there.

Use an overlay, tweak the recipe to your needs.

Yes, I pushed it that way as I only needed it as a png viewer (we needed
a simple "can we display graphics?" test program) and someone on IRC
also only needed PNGs, I guess.

Of course, it'd be pretty easy to add ungif/bmp/jpeg to the dependancies
list and recompile if you wanted more support.

It didn't when I tried, way way back when.  It also wanted way more
stuff :)

The dependency list seems reasonable to me, although it would be great if 
font stuff was optional :)

As of trying it way-way back, I fixed it last November, as it was not even 
building for me back then:

Anyone mind if I make it the default?
ungif breaks, so I might skip this for simplicity right now.
