Hello All,

 Year back I came to know about Enlightenment project while looking for
something in the web, I got inspired by the flexibility and like to
continuously use E17 as my primary window manager. So far so good and I use
Easy_17.sh scripts to build the code and install. now a days it is really
hard if some folders moved / something goes wrong. Besides I didn't see any
update happening to that script. I do modify the scripts to make it build
the e17 code but most of the people interested in final output then going
spending their time on making changes and make it build.

Recently I have notices that *Language* module moved to Broken and easy_17
script loops there for hours and I made a change to skip it and now again
stop at *exquisite/m4 *here and searching for this file. I can make that
change but if this is keep happening it would be better to provide build
script with source code and how we know that Language module is back and
working.

My request would be that E17 team should really focus on build and
configuration as one system for final users at least anyone can download
and install without trouble. It does not mean that I am not saying to
remove current flexibility where user can build each module standalone but
it would be great if we can build as one system just like easy_17.sh but
more stable and updating with every changes of e17 source code if possible
nightly build should use it so that update conforms that build scripts is
update to date.

Note : Normally I run with FULL option to get all the functionalities.

I came across CMAKE project and lot of open source tools moving towards to
this build system. But its up to Enlightenment team to come up with best
system for both ( Current and future )
