 You seem to have done everything right, I can't see any sensible reason why 
 those builds are failing. Maybe a process of elimination is called for. What 
 happens if you:

 mkdir -p /usr/local/share/applications/
 mkdir -p /usr/share/applications/
 ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr

   
 
 Thanks Alan. But I'll have to investigate further.
 OpenSUSE is not my primary distro. Just wanted to know if someone else
 was experiencing these annoyances...
 I can live with that !

 @ sda,
 Thanks for the great work you're doing to *enlighten* our desktops !
 I especially like the reengineering of the good old 23oz theme.

 Well, I've been using/compiling E17 from source for years (on
 Mandrake/Mandriva, Debian, Ubuntu...) and I like it.
 I like to know how it works, how it feels... As you well know, you learn
 a lot by compiling from source.
 Binary packages  (.rpm, .deb) say nothing.

 Your repo (and all the other E17 repos offering specific binary
 packages) lacks some interesting programs:
 What if someone wants to test engycad, embrace, e_phys, elapse... just
 to name a few ?
 Raster removed entice from the cvs because it wasn't maintained anymore
 (I miss this cool little app). Some apps
 slowly disappear because they can't find their way to the binary repos.
 Since a lot of beginners rely on binary repos,
 they'll never hear about these less known apps... Less users -
 development stalls - obsolescence -...

 What about eyelight ?  eyesight... ? I can compile/use newly introduced
 programs as soon they reach the svn repositories.
 It's fun !

 E17 binary repos are a good thing... but way too limited for my tastes
   

Found it !
A manually installed program (Tunapie) was interfering with installation...
Everything's OK now.

Cheers !

these are already dead. No point to show them until someone get them
to an usable state.

they're very young and still immature. They'd need a open new file
dialogs so they could be launched from menu. Eyesight has some
problems with timers, etc... that's why they're in PROTO.

hey, that's why we have options ;-)

btw, if binary packages include debug and devel, it's much easier to
compile these missing packages since you just have to do them and not
the whole toolchain. Sometimes this requires the most up to date
libraries, so the update frequency will matter.

 Hi,

 I'm running OpenSUSE 11.0 with the latest E17 environment from svn.
 I get this error during make install:

 ( ...make[2]: Entering directory `/home/dazibaldo/e/trunk/edje_editor/data'
 make[3]: Entering directory `/home/dazibaldo/e/trunk/edje_editor/data'
 make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.)
 test -z /usr/local/share/applications || /bin/mkdir -p
 /usr/local/share/applications
 /bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/share/applications':
 File exists

This is in the install phase. Are you running 'make install' as root? Non-root 
users probably cannot create that directory, in which case I would say the 
error message is misleading. The mkdir should not fail as it is preceded with 
a check to see if the directory exists. Plus, mkdir behaviour is mandated to 
NOT fail on existing directories with -p.

Before I start to blame the distro, please first check man mkdir on your 
system to see if OpenSUSE's mkdir says anything about this. Then check the 
permissions on each directory in the /usr/local/share/applications chain. Is 
the filesystem the directory is on mounted ro perhaps?

Finally, are you using SELinux or AppArmour or any other access control 
mechanism that can prevent even root from creating a directory?

Thank you for your answer.

I use the common sequence './autogen.sh  make  sudo make install'
for installing applications.
I checked the permissions, everything's ok.
Never messed with SElinux or AppArmour...
For some unknown reasons, /bin/mkdir seems to ignore the '-p' argument.
This problem is limited to edje_editor, eyesight, emphasis and
entrance_edit_gui, everything else builds flawlessly. :-\
