Thanks, I’ll take a look at that. I know also that edje now requires lua > 5.10, so I will have to update the post to reflect that as well.

at the moment two package names in repos are changed:libglib-2.0-dev is now libglib2.0-dev and libcurl3-dev is now a virtual package provided by libcurl4-openssl-dev, at least in crunchbang jaunty it is so.

the package needed libfontconfig-dev, I think. I have added that to the huge dependencies list now. Thanks for the reminder about enlightenment_start

ah, here’s the error:

<<<>>>
Enlightenment found Evas can’t load the ‘Sans’ font. Check Evas has fontconfig
support and system fontconfig defines a ‘Sans’ font.

E17: Begin shutdown procedure!

ok, got it all compiled, then had two problems when trying to start.
first problem was that when I tried to log into e17 it said that I wasn’t suppose to use the enlightenment binary to start enlightenment but rather the enlightenement_start script.

i switched to that and then got the error that I was missing some configuration for the Sans font.

Ok, so I removed that and it’s proceeding again, still missing some -dev packages though, like glib-2.0-dev

That’s quite strange. I don’t think cvs was required for my install, at least not recently since they switched the repository to svn, but I might try do a fresh install and check if these things are required. I’m not sure if enthrall is still being developed, but I can probably find out and update that as well.

Ok, got stopped on enthrall. Btw, I am on ubuntu Jaunty 64bit.

I had to compile ffmpeg and friends from source, which went well actually, in order to get the correct versions of the components.

here’s the output after installing the latest ffmpeg.

- enthrall ………………. make : ERROR!

you should add in the list of pre-requisites to install cvs, mine died on ekt requiring cvs.

So far so good though!

Post your errors, I’ll do what I can to help you troubleshoot. I had a compile error that halted the whole works, too, at first, but I re-ran ./easy_e17.sh the next day and got everything to work just fine again, so I assumed it was the svn code. If that doesn’t work for you, copy a good last chunk of your compile errors (easy_e17.sh dumps them into /var/log/e17 or something like that, just find the name of the package that doesn’t compile, and look for itś .log file in that directory), and paste them here so I can make sure this guide works well for everybody.

Also, are you running ubuntu or kubuntu?
