I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but someone on the
enlightenment-users list recommended I post here.  Have heard a lot of
good things about the Enlightenment project and wanted to try it out.
I'm testing on Windows 7 with MinGW and msys and attempting to build
the Enlightenment libraries from scratch so I can build an application
that uses them.  Am hitting several issues.  A lot of the
Enlightenment libraries don't seem to build out of the box on this
particular platform.  I've been documenting the steps I've needed to
take to correct issues and get libraries to build.   Is there
somewhere I should report the issues and the work-arounds I'm using?
I don't know how many Windows/MinGW/msys users you have, but I'd hate
for them to have to go through the debugging process I currently seem
to be facing.  I'm using the 1.7.1 sources except for evil which
appears to only have a latest version of 1.7.0.

Also, wanted to mention there's a library naming collision between
evil's libdl.dll and libdl.dll from this project (
http://code.google.com/p/dlfcn-win32/ ) which many MinGW developers
use.  Is there a work-around for the naming issue?  I had to uninstall
the libraries from the other project just to be able to attempt to
build the Enlightenment libraries.  However, I have other libraries
and programs I use that require that library/dll.  So, I see no easy
way to get those other projects to co-exist with Enlightenment unless
there's a way to resolve the naming collision.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Laura
