Hah. It worked. Interesting. The page at https://www.enlightenment.org/distros/debian-start is they key. 1. Apparently libpng12-dev *does* get installed on some platforms still when you install xubuntu-16.04, but NOT if you install 16.04_01. 2. libxp-dev is dead, and has been replaced by x11proto-print-dev, so editing that into the list of packages works fine. The rest of the script ran as writ, barring a few little bobbles where the compiler warned about misdeclared variables, which is only to be expected in large and complex systems. Nothing that looked serious. Right at the end, I did another update/upgrade for an unrelated reason, and it kicked up x11proto-print-dev saying it was unused and could be removed with apt autoremove :-) So it's basically a catalyst, which I think is largely what Carsten was alluding to. So now I have a nicely running E on virgin stock Xubuntu 16.04. Thank you all very much for your patience and skill. NOW...I already have e17 from the Ubuntu repos running on all my other 16.04 systems. What's the best path to enligh^H^H^H^H^H^Hreplacement? a. remove and purge enlightenment and build from scratch on each system b. remove and purge enlightenment on each system, and try to work out what files from my newly-working test system need to be copied across c. go the whole hog and try to package it up for the distro (I don't think I have the skill or the time to do this and support it). ///Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
