Well, I can tell you how I get E17 up and running. I'm not using git or svn right now. Instead, I'm using the stable source code release, downloadable by using the following wget commands: wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/enlightenment-0.17.0.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/terminology-0.2.0.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/eet-1.7.5.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/evas-1.7.5.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/embryo-1.7.5.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/edje-1.7.5.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/e_dbus-1.7.5.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/expedite-1.7.5.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/eina-1.7.5.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/ecore-1.7.5.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/efreet-1.7.5.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/eeze-1.7.5.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/evas_generic_loaders-1.7.5.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/eio-1.7.5.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/emotion-1.7.5.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/ethumb-1.7.5.tar.gz wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/elementary-1.7.5.tar.gz I compile them using the standard "./configure; make; make install" process, in this order: eina embryo eet evas evas_generic_loaders ecore eio e_dbus efreet edje emotion elementary Then I compile the e17 package. All works fine for me, on a Debian Testing platform. > 2 - After easy17 running, I had to skip a lot of modules, because of > e_mod_main having no dbus references Not sure, based on your description of the issue.

What am I doing wrong? The Applications menu is nicely populated on my system. It could be because of your old configuration. Try starting with a brand new config. The stable e17 release will wipe your old configuration automatically, so make sure to backup your current configuration if you want to revert it. > 4 - Composing took me almost 60% of opengl performance.

Any suggestions? Do you want a framerate of more than 60fps? If your monitor is refreshing at that rate, then it seems rather useless to have it any higher. The stable e17 release may help you with this. Try that out, and see how it performs for you. > 5 - I was always a big fan of enlughtenment, since version 16, when I changed > windowmaker to e16, and I understand the decision of stabilish goals to > finish > version 17, but in my opinion, it is a very steep transition, and some of > them > may make users run away from e17 E17 is a completely different beast to E16. Other than some design decisions being inherited, it's effectively unrelated to E16. It's more than just a version up from E16. Probably should have had a different name, except that Enlightenment is an awesome name, and it's hard to give that up. Maybe should have called it the E2000. It's certainly had enough work done on it over the years to deserve the version bump. Plus, it can now keep well ahead of firefox, for the next few years at least. dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
