Ran Benita [Sun, 27 Nov 2011 16:54:53 +0000 (18:54 +0200)]
build: use gnu autotools

This commit adds basic autoconf + automake files to build the project.
It also adds a main.c stub in order to simulate the main binary.

The configure script uses pkg-config to find the libraries. The usual
stuff should work. The only additional option right now is:
        ./configure --enable-debug [To enable debugging symbols]
The Makefile should also support the standard stuff:
        make [To build the kmscon binary]
        make check [To build the test_* binaries]
        make dist [To create a tarball]
        make clean
        make install
        etc.

To start from a clean tree (e.g. git clean -dfx), do something like the
following:
        ./autogen.sh
        ./configure --enable-debug CFLAGS=-O0
        make

It all should work well enough for now.

A console may be displayed on multiple outputs. We allow different screen

different outputs.

We simply render the console image into a cairo surface with a user-given
resolution. This should be set to the highest resultion of the used outputs. The
application can now map this image onto the different framebuffers. This will
scale the image if the target framebuffer is smaller than the cairo surface.

We also do not clear the framebuffer. This should be done by the user. This
allows us to draw with alpha values and blend the console on top of the current
framebuffer. We do not have to care for background images and the application
has full control of where the console is shown.
