As a *very* happy e17 user I can give you some tips. This is a longish reply, hopefully it'll save you some of the mistakes I made :-) I had endless hassles with the enlightenment-0.16.9999 snapshots a while back - not everything was always available as a snapshot and other miscellaneous issues. But that's not important - what is is that I switched to e-9999 (the current CVS, not snapshots) and everything works like a dream. I update at least weekly and for two months now I've had no breakages (not bad for current cvs stuff). The best docs are at get-e (I don't have the url handy, but visit www.enlightenment.org and the link is near the bottom of the left panel). There you will find e17 and efl user guides with gentoo sections contributed by vapier. Read that for the full info. I'll give you the short version, snipped out of my local copy of the faqs: **************** To install just the window manager: (Note: the ebuilds do not resolve all dependencies reliably. You have to remerge all packages each time you want to update e17). Add these to /etc/portage/package.keywords: x11-wm/e -* x11-libs/evas -* dev-libs/eet -* x11-libs/ecore -* media-libs/edje -* dev-libs/embryo -* to Then run emerge eet evas ecore embryo edje e and update your x startup scripts/display manager to run the enlightenment-0.17 binary ****************** To install the full efl and everything else that comes with it (do this instead of the above, not in addition to it): Add these to /etc/portage/package.keywords: x11-wm/e -* x11-misc/engage -* x11-libs/ewl -* x11-libs/evas -* media-libs/imlib2 -* dev-libs/eet -* dev-db/edb -* x11-libs/ecore -* media-libs/etox -* media-libs/edje -* dev-libs/embryo -* x11-libs/esmart -* media-libs/epsilon -* media-libs/epeg -* app-misc/examine -* net-news/erss -* x11-misc/entrance -* app-misc/evidence -* media-libs/emotion -* media-gfx/elicit -* media-gfx/entice -* dev-libs/engrave -* media-video/eclair -* then run: emerge eet dev-db/edb imlib2 evas ecore epeg embryo edje epsilon esmart emotion ewl engrave ***************** These emerge commands will download the latest cvs and emerge the packages in the correct order. Don't try and change the order in future updates, this breaks stuff :-) Always remerge everything. It takes about 45 minutes to do the whole lot on my reasonable speedy laptop The x11-plugins/e_modules ebuild is currently broken as several modules don't compile - raster dropped the gadman code in the module system and replaced it with something new (gadcon). e_modules is mostly 3rd party stiff and not all of it is updated yet. The other standard modules, those included with the wm itself, all work just fine. These are the ones that are broken in e_modules: bling, calendar, devian, engage, evolume, mbar, monitor, mount and rss. You can either write your own ebuild for the remaining modules that work, or copy /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/e_modules somewhere and run ./autogen.sh && make && make install in each sub-directory. Done as a user it installs the modules to ~/.e/e/modules/<module_name>/. As root they go in /usr/lib/enlightenment/<module_name>/ You might find it more convenient (as I do) to download the cvs once and then experiment with compile options without having to be online and connect to the cvs server with every emerge: cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/cvs/e login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/cvs/e co * Do subsequent emerges like this: ECVS_SERVER="offline" emerge .... This will skip the CVS checkout step and just use the local copy as is. I'm sure there's a better way to do this, I'm just too lazy to find it out. This will download *everything* related to e for your compilation pleasure :-) Not everything has an ebuild and not all of it compiles. Once you get e17 running do yourself a big favour and emerge evidence, then edit /etc/rc.conf appropriately and run /etc/init.d/xdm restart. Do this just once and I promise you, you will likely never want to see standard xdm/gdm/kdm on your personal machine ever again :-) share and enjoy :-) alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
