Arch Linux User Repository

To make it work, you have to do this:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libevent-2.1.so.7.0.0 /usr/lib/libevent-2.1.so.6

Then it works.

Now I'm using links from official repositories. I can't get it working with directfb. Feel free to adopt.

directfb is also available in the aur.

I am no longer using archlinux (maybe I will in the future).

So feel free to update the package.

@lks @Duologic

FYI, directfb no longer exists. And directfb-rbp is for x86 only (no 64 bit).

Workaround: Manually download latest directfb from the archive: https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/d/directfb/

Install it: sudo pacman -U directfb-xxxx.pkg.tar.xz

Then install links-g-directfb like you would normally do. I used Yaourt.

Works great. Thank you for making this package :^)

@djringjr
Thank you for your comment, I will update the package to the current version 2.13 (on thursday). But I haven't noticed that the source was down so far. At this time the sources are accessible:

http://links.twibright.com/download/links-2.12.tar.bz2
http://links.twibright.com/download/links-2.13.tar.bz2

Perhaps, the server was offline during maintenance?

after some research...

put

above ./configure

and it builds

I had this issue and after some research...

put

I changed the order of the autoconf command and it compiled without error:
