Maybe when I retire (2018) I can look at that. Problem is, I'm a *user* of Enlightenment: I have to have a fully-working system, not an experimental one. Right now e18 has been fairly solid. But the real puzzle is why Xenial went retrograde and used e17 instead of e18. I posted the same message to the xubuntu list but no reply so far. > if you really want to use enlightenment > on ubuntu its probably best to build efl and it yourself, with some > package merges the number of things you need to build now is quite small. I've never had any luck building systems that big. Downloading a GNU utility and typing ./configure;make;make install usually works, but with larger applications there's always a dozen utterly unresolvable conflicts because the devs are all on custom-built kernels and systems and have used libraries that can't be installed on regular distros because they conflict with the underlying system. Deeply frustrating. I might dig out an old sacrificial system and install virgin Xenial where I can go ahead and break things. ///Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms.
