E17 install on PCLinuxOS-LXDE-Mini-2012.12.iso

[jb99]

I had to do a fresh install yesterday and installed  PCLinuxOS-LXDE-Mini-2012.12.iso then used the enlightenment tar.gz releases (1.7.5) to add the E17 desktop.  This was much simpler than using svn and the releases are more stable,   I kept a note of the packages I had to install,  if anyone is interested I can post what I did.  so far seems to be working well.

E17 is one of my favorite. If it's stable... and not to complicated...
I'm not an expert.

Anyway, you can open a topic with this.

Hi, I'm not an expert either and will welcome any suggestions/improvements/corrections.   Apologies for taking so long to reply.    
First the usual warnings apply:-
back up your data first,  don't do this on your only installation,  it's not official so no support, etc. etc.  I recommend you create and install to a new partition or even better use a spare hard drive.
Here's what I did,  based on this:- http://blog.admiralakber.com/?tag=e17
Step 1: install PCLinuxOS-LXDE-Mini-2012.12.iso and update with synaptic

 Download and install PCLinuxOS-LXDE-Mini-2012.12.iso to a new partition on your hard drive.
 Make sure the  internet connection is working.
 Run synaptic package manager and reload and update your installation.

Step 2: Install packages
I found this to be the absolute minimum extra packages, to successfully compile and run e17 desktop:-
( see end for more packages which add more features.)  Run all the following steps in a terminal:-

Code: [Select]

su root -


Code: [Select]

apt-get -y install \
gcc-c++ glibc-devel libcurl-devel libdbus-1-devel libfontconfig-devel \
libfreetype6-devel libgif-devel libgstreamer0.10_0.10-devel libjpeg62-devel \
libpng-devel libpoppler-devel LibRaw LibRaw-devel librsvg librsvg2_2 \
librsvg2-devel libspectre1 libspectre-devel libopenssl-devel \
libtiff-devel libudev0-devel vlc-devel libx11-devel libxcb-devel \
libxcb-util-devel libxcomposite1 libxcomposite-devel libxcursor1 \
libxcursor-devel libxdamage1 libxdamage-devel libxext6 libxext-devel \
libxfixes3 libxfixes libxine1 libxine-devel libxinerama1 libxinerama-devel \
libxkbfile1 libxkbfile-devel libxp6 libxp-devel libxrandr2 libxrandr2-devel \
libxrender1 libxrender-devel lua5.2 zlib1 zlib1-devel


Step 3: Download E17 sources ( 1.7.5 )

Before running this code, I suggest moving to a temporary working directory,
 where you intend to do all the compilation.

Code: [Select]

mkdir ~/e17temp
cd ~/e17temp


Code: [Select]

for I in eina eet evas evas_generic_loaders ecore eio embryo \
edje efreet e_dbus eeze emotion ethumb elementary; do \
 wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/$I-1.7.5.tar.gz; \
done


Code: [Select]

wget http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/enlightenment-0.17.0.tar.gz

Step 4: Setting options for compilation and installing

In this step we will be exporting various settings to the compiler including the CFLAGS.

Code: [Select]

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export CFLAGS="-O3 -fvisibility=hidden -ffast-math -march=native -pipe"
Step 5: Configure, Compile and Install libraries
( the "make install" has to be done as root ).

Code: [Select]

for I in eina eet evas evas_generic_loaders ecore eio embryo \
edje efreet e_dbus eeze emotion ethumb elementary; do \
 tar zxf $I-1.7.5.tar.gz; \
 cd $I-1.7.5; \
 ./configure && make >> $I-make.log && su -c "make install >> $I-install.log"; \
 cd ..; \
done


Code: [Select]

su -c "ldconfig"
Step 6: Configure, Compile and Install Enlightenment 17!

Code: [Select]

tar zxf enlightenment-0.17.0.tar.gz
cd enlightenment-0.17.0
./configure && make >> E17-make.log && su -c "make install >> E17-install.log"
cd ..
Step 7: Add Enlightenment to your logon screen
as root

Code: [Select]

cp /usr/local/share/xsessions/enlightenment.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/enlightenment.desktop
Now when you log on there should be an e17 option in the menu (at the end).  ( If you get an error,  look at the end of the error message and try to figure out which library you are missing. Initially I got a missing png and font error and installing "libpng-devel" and "libfontconfig-devel" and recompiling solved this )

More
After this I went through the "Recommended requirements "
http://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=download&l=en
to find the equivalent PcLinuxOs packages and came up with this more complete list
 (although still missing some ).
as root

Code: [Select]

apt-get  --no-reinstall -y install \
libalsa2-static-devel glibc-devel  libcurl-devel  libdbus-1-devel \
libfontconfig-devel   libfreetype6-devel libgif-devel  libgstreamer0.10_0.10-devel \
libjpeg62-devel libpng-devel libpoppler-devel LibRaw LibRaw-devel \
librsvg2_2 librsvg2_2-devel librsvg libspectre1 libspectre-devel \
libopenssl-devel libtiff-devel libudev0-devel vlc-devel \
libx11-devel libxcb-devel libxcb-util-devel libxcomposite1 libxcomposite-devel \
libxcursor1 libxcursor-devel libxdamage1 libxdamage-devel \
libxext6 libxext-devel libxfixes3 libxfixes libxine1 libxine-devel \
libxinerama1 libxinerama-devel libxkbfile1 libxkbfile-devel \
libxp6 libxp-devel libxrandr2 libxrandr2-devel libxrender1 libxrender-devel \
lua5.2 zlib1  zlib-devel
then repeat steps 4,5,6,7

To get EFM (the file manager to play music, videos etc. when you hover over a file
you have to install gstreamer and the apropriate plug-in, here's a list of the ones
I installed.  (Not sure which ones are actually required! )

then repeat steps 4,5,6,7

Huuhhh!!!... 
Maybe I'll give it a try when I have enough time to spend...
I have a second HDD in my machine I not use it. Actually it was the original 250 gb HDD wich came with Windows Vista installed but is disconnected; I have enough with the 1 TB I use.
A little bit hard for me... But, I'll see...

Nice how-to (although a little complicated for some to follow)
Step 4 is missing...

Guess it's for advanced users?
The help board is only for packages in repo.

That's when you make a cup of tea     

[jb99]

Now has a step 4.    Steps 5 and 6 take about an hour on my 2006 pc so a good time for a cuppa.
