The biggest problem is to get all the stuff needed to do the build.
Libraries needed - You'll have to translate these library names into the corresponding development package names used in your distro: Required: libImlib2, libXext, libX11 (e.g. on Fedora 8 this would translate to the packages imlib2-devel, libXext-devel, and libX11-devel) Unless you know exactly what you do want you probably want these too: libXxf86vm, libICE, libSM, libXft, libXrender, libXrandr, libXinerama If you want compositing: libXcomposite, libXdamage, libXfixes If you want pango font rendering support: libpangoxft Other packages needed: - gettext (and any associated development package) - Obviously make, C compiler, C library, etc. I'll assume you want to build from a source tarball. Building from cvs is basically just as simple but requires a few more development tools. 1) Get tarball from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2 2) Unpack tarball, e.g. $ tar -xzf e16-0.16.8.14-0.04.tar.gz 3) Step into source directory $ cd e16-0.16.8.14-0.04 4) Configure $ ./configure --prefix=/usr 5) Build $ make 6) Install (must be done as root if /usr prefix is used) # make install Done! > Also what is the road map for e16?

I don't have any major plans though, other than fixing bugs and keeping up with changes in external stuff. /Kim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
