I'm using e17 as an X11 window manager for Apple's X11 implementation.
In theory It's possible to use e17 foundation libs to build apps that
don't require X11 ("cocoa"), but that's not what I'm doing. Someone on
this list told me I didn't need ecore_x, but that mislead me. They
were correct in principle but that didn't apply to what I'm doing.
Also I'm not replacing Apple's GUI with e17 as one would do in a Linux
distro. Apple's X11 sits on top of their own GUI (Quartz) and it has
surprisingly good compatibility for co-existing. This is why I'm using
Apple's X11 versus dual booting with Ubuntu, I can mix and match
programs from both environments simultaneously, with the best work
prouctivity. It's also possible _in principle_ to boot MacOS-X
(Darwin) into a CLI and then run a true x11.org server. It works, I
know people who have dome it, but not a good option because software
is less stable and harder to develop than on Linux packages such as
Ubuntu. I have a dual boot with MacOS-X and Ubuntu. Compiling for
Ubuntu is a no-brainer, Apple's X11 is tricky.
Back to the topic...
At this time everything installs and compiles. I did need to use some
options and flags that members here helped me with for several of the
libs. Currently I have not yet been able to get e17 to run, however I
_am_ getting meaningful error messages from e17 and going back to re-
compile some of the libs with different flags. At this time I don't
need help from this list on how to fix the errors, just haven;t had
enough time to recompile.
I will post my success or ask for help at the next hurdle.
