When chromium is doing the configure step it is halted with a message that the package gdk-2.0 is missing. Can someone give a hint about whats wrong in my configuration and how to proceed?

gtk+ dependency (which contains gdk) is missing from the chromium
recipe when building without x11 or wayland.

Unfortunately gtk+ itself can't be compiled if "directfb"
DISTRO_FEATURE is enabled:


$ bitbake gtk+

It seems that for some reason gtk+ triggers a chain of native
dependencies which reaches directfb. I'm adding Martin and Otavio into
the loop.
