| - | ===== Installing E17 ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Pre-built packages ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | === SlackE17 === | ||
| - | |||
| - | The easiest and fastest way to get E17 running on Slackware is to install the E17 packages from the [[http:// | ||
| - | |||
| - | Just [[http:// | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Install everything using: | ||
| - | <code bash># upgradepkg --install-new e17/ | ||
| - | * Use the supplied script to install only E17 and its dependencies using: | ||
| - | <code bash># ./ | ||
| - | * Use the supplied script to install everything using: | ||
| - | <code bash># ./ | ||
| - | * Or you can just: | ||
| - | <code bash># cd e17 && pkgtool</ | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== 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 / | ||
| - | |||
| - | # cd / | ||
| - | |||
| - | # git clone https:// | ||
| - | |||
| - | # git clone https:// | ||
| - | |||
| - | # cd / | ||
| - | |||
| - | # ./ | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | 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 / | ||
| - | |||
| - | # make && make install | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | Now we need to add Enlightenment library directory to the system so it knows where to look for the libraries. | ||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | # echo "/ | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | Load the new configuration. | ||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | # ldconfig | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | 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=/ | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | Add enlightenment bin to PATH for build, also make it persist after reboot. | ||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | # export PATH=/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | # vi / | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | Add "/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | Start building Enlightenment. | ||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | # cd / | ||
| - | |||
| - | # meson --prefix=/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | # meson configure build | ||
| - | |||
| - | # ninja -C build install | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | (Optional, build Terminology. Terminology is the default terminal in Enlightenment.) | ||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | # mkdir / | ||
| - | |||
| - | # cd / | ||
| - | |||
| - | # git clone https:// | ||
| - | |||
| - | # cd terminology | ||
| - | |||
| - | # meson --prefix=/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | # meson configure build | ||
| - | |||
| - | # ninja -C build install | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | To make your sessionmanager find Enlightenment you need to create a .desktop file in the right directory. | ||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | # vi / | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | 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=/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | TryExec=/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | DesktopNames=Enlightenment | ||
| - | |||
| - | Name=Enlightenment | ||
