Enlightenment

[Nathan]

I've been messing around a bit with Petite Linux on my netbook this weekend, and decided I'd love to use Enlightenment instead of GNOME on Scientific Linux once I upgrade to SL 6.2. How would one go about installing it? I tried the packages from the official site, but I already get errors (Nothing to be done for ...) when trying to install eina.

EDIT: also, it'd be wonderful if someone could list all the packages needed to run Enlightenment from a JeOS.

Thanks!

Hi Nathan,

I was looking at the Enlightenment.org web site for you and found they have a list of Recommended requirements along with the package build order on this page: http://enlightenment.org/p.php?p=download&l=en

They also provide rhel6 packages and repo that should work with SL: http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/RHEL6/

Did you try to do your install from there e-rhel6.repo ?

Hope this helps

I was able to install all the packages from there repo here on my i686 test box. I first created a repo file.

CODE

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/e-rhel6.repo [enlightenment] name=Enlightenment baseurl=http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/RHEL6/$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=0

and then listed the packages from there repo for install:

CODE

# yum install e_dbus e_dbus-devel ecore ecore-con ecore-devel ecore-evas ecore-fb ecore-file ecore-imf ecore-input ecore-ipc ecore-x edje edje-bin edje-devel eet eet-devel efreet efreet-devel eina eina-devel embryo embryo-bin embryo-devel evas evas-devel evas-module_engine_buffer evas-module_engine_fb evas-module_engine_software_generic evas-module_engine_software_x11  evas-module_loader_bmp evas-module_loader_eet evas-module_loader_jpeg evas-module_loader_pmaps evas-module_loader_png evas-module_loader_tga evas-module_loader_tiff evas-module_loader_xpm evas-module_saver_eet evas-module_saver_jpeg evas-module_saver_png evas-module_saver_tiff lua lua-devel lua-static

I have not done any testing of the packages just installed them without issue.


Hope this helps,

[Nathan]

Oh wow, I can't believe I missed that, thanks! I'll check it out in a minute and I'll let you know if it works properly.

[Nathan]

Well, the packages installed correctly, so I downloaded the Enlightenment (16) tarball from SourceForge, extracted it, and ./configure gave me an error that it can't find package 'imlib2', even though I have the latest version installed.

CODE

configure: error: Package requirements (imlib2 >= 1.2.0) were not met: No package 'imlib2' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables IMLIB2_CFLAGS and IMLIB2_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Nevermind, figured it out, I didn't have the devel package installed.

Anyhow, looks like it's still only going to be possible to install E16 with those RHEL6 packages. E17 doesn't seem to be available in RPM.

[AndrewSerk]

just downloaded and installed the e16-1.0.10-1.fc14.i686.rpm from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/enlightenment/e16-1.0.10-1.fc14.i686.rpm?download without issue.

I first installed the packages from my above post then downloaded the e16-1.0.10-1.fc14.i686.rpm package and did a --locallinstall --nogpgcheck . Yum pulled in imlib2 1.4.4-1.el6.rf from rpmforge as the only dep.

I haven't tried to use enlightenment yet on SL.
I don't really know much about what packages are needed and what packages are not needed ect. for enlightenment to work and will have to RTFM for more info.

[Nathan]

Yeah, I just figured out I didn't have the imlib2-devel package installed, I'll give it another try now.

[AndrewSerk]

Just logged out and in with e16 Gnome2 and it Works!

Alright, the package installed correctly, without further errors. Now, is there any way I can set GDM to login to Enlightenment, or will I have to install SLiM (or similar)?

Hi Nathan,

From the GDM log in screen you can choose what to use. The options selector is at the bottom in the "tool bar" before you log in. Just select what you want to use from the list of installed DM's (kde, gnome,e16,gnome2 e16 ect.) and that option should be automatically selected for your next log in . So no real need for SLIM etc.

Hope this helps,

[Nathan]

Thanks for the info. I tried E16 and E16 GNOME, both worked as they should. Now I went back to GNOME, but Enlightenment is still there, as if I had selected E16 GNOME again. I rebooted, problem persists. I erased the Enlightenment install with yum, still there after reboot. How is this even possible? lol

Might have found a fix, brb logout.

[Nathan]

Alright, for anyone having trouble getting the normal GNOME back after logging into E16 GNOME: you'll need to edit the file '.gconf/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/%gconf.xml' in your home directory. You need to change the value 'e16' to 'metacity' or 'compiz' (depending on which you use) and save the file. Log out and back in, and Enlightenment will have disappeared. However, there won't be any window borders and it'll act a bit like Windows. To get everything working again, go to System -> Preferences -> Desktop Effects and click on Standard or Compiz. This should fix all problems.

[AndrewSerk]

Nice catch/fix Nathan,
I missed that issue working from a disk img. as I reverted to the old img. after confirming that e16 installed and worked.

Glad you got it all sorted out.

Hmm. I've been searching all over the place and it seems the guys at SUSE are the only ones that have all the latest Enlightenment packages available as RPM. They aren't even in Fedora!

[AndrewSerk]

If you have a test box/VM you might want to build there git/svn version? : http://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=contribute&l=en

There trunk looks to be very active: http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/browser/trunk

Well, downloading the packages isn't really the problem, but make gives me errors à la "Nothing to be done for". Below, the output for make and the subsequent make install (my apologies for the size of it, there doesn't seem to be a spoiler tag on this forum so I can't make my post smaller). My understanding of make is too limited to understand why it is producing these errors.

Did you run the autogen.sh script first?

[Nathan]

Nope, never done that, I'll give it a try tonight and let you know the results.

[Nathan]

Didn't help, too bad.

That's a bummer

I just built e16-1.0.10-2.fc17.i686 with fedpkg and the build suffered from the same ......%gconf.xml issue. If I can find some more time I'll give the git version a try and post any findings.

[Nathan]

Well, I just did a fresh install of SL6.2 on my netbook, installed gcc and make, downloaded eina-1.10, extracted, entered the directory, did ./configure, did make and once again the same errors popped up. Make keeps telling me there is "nothing to be done for `all'".

I'll try installing make 3.82 from source and try again with that, as it isn't available in the SL repos.

EDIT: interesting, installing make 3.82 also failed. Could this be a bug in make 3.81 in RHEL?
