 ==== Compilation ==== ==== Compilation ====
 +
 +First you need to install the dependencies needed to compile Enlightenment. These can be found in SlackBuilds-website or with sbopkg:
 +
 +  * check
 +
 +  * lua
 +
 +  * luajit
 +
 +  * bullet
 +
 +
 +Once you have those packages installed we can proceed to make a build directory and commence with the fun stuff!
 +
 +<code bash>
 + # mkdir -p /build/e22/core
 +
 + # cd /build/e22/core
 +
 + # git clone https://git.enlightenment.org/core/efl.git
 +
 + # git clone https://git.enlightenment.org/core/enlightenment.git
 +
 + # cd /build/e22/core/efl
 +
 + # ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/e22 --disable-systemd --disable-avahi
 +</code>
 +
 +Make symlink for dbus (installer tells you to do this so please check output if it has been updated just to be sure).
 +<code bash>
 + # ln -s /opt/e22/share/dbus-1/services/org.enlightenment.Ethumb.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.enlightenment.Ethumb.service
 +
 + # make && make install
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +Now we need to add Enlightenment library directory to the system so it knows where to look for the libraries.
 +<code bash>
 + # echo "/opt/e22/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +Load the new configuration.
 +<code bash>
 + # ldconfig
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +An environmental variable need to be set for PKGCONFIG, this is only needed when building and doesnt need to be permanent.
 +<code bash>
 + # export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/e22/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +Add enlightenment bin to PATH for build, also make it persist after reboot.
 +<code bash>
 + # export PATH=/opt/e22/bin:$PATH
 +
 + # vi /etc/profile
 +</code>
 +Add "/opt/e22/bin" to your PATH.
 +
 +
 +
 +Start building Enlightenment.
 +<code bash>
 + # cd /build/e22/core/enlightenment
 +
 + # meson --prefix=/opt/e22 -Dsystemd=false -Davahi=false . build
 +
 + # meson configure build
 +
 + # ninja -C build install
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +(Optional, build Terminology. Terminology is the default terminal in Enlightenment.)
 +<code bash>
 + # mkdir /build/e22/apps
 +
 + # cd /build/e22/apps
 +
 + # git clone https://git.enlightenment.org/apps/terminology.git
 +
 + # cd terminology
 +
 + # meson --prefix=/opt/e22 . build
 +
 + # meson configure build
 +
 + # ninja -C build install
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +To make your sessionmanager find Enlightenment you need to create a .desktop file in the right directory.
 +<code bash>
 + # vi /usr/share/xsession/enlightenment.desktop
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +Should look something like this (please check already existing .desktop files for other language examples and please add relevant lines for your language):
 +
 +<code bash>
 +[Desktop Entry] 
 +
 +Encoding=UTF-8 
 +
 +Type=XSession 
 +
 +Exec=/opt/e22/bin/enlightenment_start 
 +
 +TryExec=/opt/e22/bin/enlightenment_start 
 +
 +DesktopNames=Enlightenment 
 +
 +Name=Enlightenment 
 +
 +Comment[en_GB]=Enlightenment by Enlightenment
 +
 +Comment[sv]=Enlightenment av Enlightenment 
 +
 +X-KDE-PluginInfo-Version=0.22.9
 +</code>
 +
 +If you want to start enlightenment with startx (xinit):
 +/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.e22
 +<code>
 +#!/bin/sh
 +
 +userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
 +usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
 +sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
 +sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
 +
 +# merge in defaults and keymaps
 +
 +[ -f $sysresources ] && xrdb -merge $sysresources
 +[ -f $sysmodmap ] && xmodmap $sysmodmap
 +[ -f $userresources ] && xrdb -merge $userresources
 +[ -f $usermodmap ] && xmodmap $usermodmap
 +
 +if [ -z "$DESKTOP_SESSION" -a -x /usr/bin/ck-launch-session ]; then
 +  export DESKTOP_SESSION="e22"
 +  exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session enlightenment_start
 +else
 +  export DESKTOP_SESSION="e22"
 +  exec enlightenment_start
 +fi
 +</code>
