splash screen / framebuffer kernel

[imaad]

Hi,

I want to use a splash screen at boot of system. I use tinycore 6.0 (linux kernel 3.16.6) and the bootloader is grub2.
I intended to compile splashutils-1.5.4 to use with grub2 but a get this error:

Code: [Select]

Can anyone know what is "fbcondecor_helper" ?
It's framebuffer already included in linux kernel in order to use splash screen ? Or I need to recompile the kernel with framebuffer inside ?

Thank for yours advices,

Doesn't grub2 have it's own splash (themes)?

Edit: Is it that the Makefile is looking for a command that is not present (/usr/bin/perl, /usr/bin/python, coreutils,)?

BTW, it's probably better not to use sudo make, but just plain make.

Grub2 allow you to use a image as background and to modify the color of the menu but it don't allow to show a image or a bar progression when the system is loading.
Apparently Fbsplash can do that if framebuffer is enabal in linuk kernel.

I try to compile as user and not as root and I have permission error.

It's more complicate that I thought.

Hi imaad

make[4]: DWITH_ERRLIST: Command not found

DWITH_ERRLIST  is a compiler flag that is being interpreted as a command for some reason.

make[4]: Os: Command not found

Same holds true for  Os.
