[e-users] EFL build with Xprint requirement help
I'm running a 64-bit Fedora16 with an updated kernel of 3.6.5. We are a paranoid government environment where we do not have administrative rights over our machines. In fact, there is threat to supply us (Software Developers) with Windows machines to put the maintenance into even higher up hands. As such, I build E17 into a local sandbox on some quota that we're assigned, and load that as my Window Manager. Building it is easy as pie, but building its dependencies is a nightmare. The X11/XCB stuff is a bit of a process. My question is whether the Xprint dependency on EFL is necessary, or if there is a way to disable it from the build. Building the deprecated Xprint and its dependencies has proven to be really cumbersome. If it is necessary, has anyone built Xprint successfully? It currently complains that the Display extern class is missing, even though I can clearly see the Xlib.h file containing it. However, due to the dependencies on specific versions, the Xlib.h that I have may not be compatible. Many thanks! Dustin -- LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.

Re: [e-users] EFL build with Xprint requirement help
E-7 does not rely on single tree EFL, actually it is being tested with 1.7.3 For single tree, it is required and this is not going away. But just e17++ will need that On Wednesday, December 12, 2012, Dustin N. Jenkins wrote: I'm running a 64-bit Fedora16 with an updated kernel of 3.6.5.
