HOWTO: installation of e17 from SVN code [Archive] - Page 3

@Aquastus, I'm sorry I can't help you much.

Thanks again Rui Pais for your helpful post. I always find what I'm looking for !!

Well, almost : as I installed karmic, I would like to get rid of the ugly gdm and would like to try entrance, but I can't manage to get it compiled because the script (sudo easy_e17.sh --only=entrance) stops on that :

- entrance ................... autogen: ERROR!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------- Last loglines ------------------------------

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ESMART_CFLAGS
and ESMART_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-> Get more informations by checking the log file '/tmp/easy_e17/install_logs/entrance.log'!

So I tried to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /opt/e17/lib/pkgconfig (it exists, of course) but I get exactly the same result. Also I checked the pkg-config man page but have absolutely no idea how I can use it to solve the problem. And the /tmp/easy_e17/install_logs/entrance.log file contains more details on what it checked before stopping on the error, which doesn't bring much.

So, any clue ?

Hi nico_h

I can't guarantee entrance (as I don't use it myself), but this should allow you to compile it with easy_e17.sh --only (but it may depend on which version of easy_e17.sh you are using and how up to date it is)

Open the easy_e17.conf file with a text editor as root:

eg:

gksudo gedit /etc/easy_e17.conf

Find "entrance," and delete it

Run

sudo easy_e17.sh --only=entrance

It should make-install for you

I have no idea how to replace gdm with entrance - let us know if you can get it to work!

nico_h

December 12th, 2009, 07:40 PM

Oh thanks, but well, I forgot to mention that, in order to run sudo easy_e17.sh --only=entrance, I first already deleted entrance from the easy_e17.conf file.

Now I'm running sudo easy_e17.sh -u just to see if it compiles better (maybe it will compile this missing dependance first ?).

EDIT: OH it writes it skips esmart, that's probably the reason it doesn't work !!! so I'll wait till it's done and rerun it with esmart also deleted from the easy_e17.conf
EDIT2 : yes, it did work ! after having deleted esmart from the skip list (in /etc/easy_e17.conf) I ran sudo easy_e17.sh --only=esmart and then sudo easy_e17.sh --only=entrance don't know how i hadn't found it alone earlier, too tired probably...

VCoolio

December 12th, 2009, 07:48 PM

I think you need to delete esmart from the skipping list and / or add it to the packages list. Also a warning: I managed to get entrance working a few weeks ago, but when in e17 (or any other wm) I couldn't sudo or gksudo anything. Also there was a sound issue if I recall correctly. Anyway, I reinstalled karmic and vowed to never try entrance again. Then again, let us know if you get it going and how. It was way faster than gdm so with a right howto I might still break my oath.

nico_h

December 12th, 2009, 08:50 PM

Installation worked fine.

About the getting it to work well I tried different ways but I'm still looking for an answer. There are many different ways depending on the year... moreover I have no idea if entrance is even bug-free enough to be used. Well... if I find a solution I'll post it here !

@nico_h

Entrance is old and buggy: DON'T use it!

Or use a specialized/hacked distro like Elive...

Shame on me, I could have figured it out myself. For some reason I was sure I had libtool installed and thought it was autoconf issue.

Tux Aubrey

January 30th, 2010, 08:27 AM

I can confirm that the cafelinux repos are back on line (and the forums) so any new install of e17 via Post#1 (or my tutorial at http://cafelinux.org/OzOs/content/how-install-ozos-desktop-existing-os) will work (tested on Karmic and Lucid alpha).

If you are having trouble updating because of error messages about "unversioned directories/folders", this is an issue with recent updates of e17 code. You can safely delete those directories (from another terminal window or from your filemanager opened as root - they are all "illume..." directories in /var/cache/e17_src/e/src/modules/).

I am also having trouble with "ethumb" not compiling - but this is probably due to something I did to my setup because a new install on Lucid didn't have this problem. If anyone else is experiencing this problem and has a solution I'd like to hear it.

After installing e17 I have my partitions on the desktop. I can't mount them and I can't remove them. Is there a way to mount partitions in e17? If not, is there a way to stop them from appearing as icons on the desktop?

My installation did not install the trash module anybody knows the package or any other name of program that will give me trash?

Thank you,

No, just someone decided to move the furniture without telling us blind people.

Unless you actually want or need the edje_editor tool (fairly useless IMO), the fix to use depends whether this is a new install or you are updating.

Both involve editing the easy_e17.sh file as root:

gksudo yourtexteditor /usr/bin/easy_e17.sh

eg. gksudo gedit /usr/bin/easy_e17.sh

Find and delete both references to edje_editor.

If you are updating a previously installed e17, you also need to delete the edje_editor directory in /var/cache/e17_src/

eg.

sudo rm -rf /var/cache/e17_src/edje_editor

You should then be able to use:

sudo easy_e17.sh -i

to fully update and (re)install e17.

Future updates won't require the editing (until the phantom furniture mover reappears)

Hello,

I'm trying to install this on Xubuntu 9.10.
Once I launch the installation, I get this:

searching for direct source url for 'eina'

The system just hangs there. Does it just take a long time (hours) or is it stuck somehow?

I think I'm using the right files: I searched for "edje_editor" in easy_e17.sh and I could not find any occurrence, therefore I suspect it has already been edited since the post above (by Tux Aubrey).

Suggestions?

Well, phantom furniture mover has struck again; esmart can no longer be found at http://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/trunk/esmart

edit:
Or to be more precise, easy_e17.sh right now hangs at "searching for direct source url for 'esmart' "

I love this thread but wish it were updated. Aubrey I need your help PLEASE!!

Tux Aubrey

March 22nd, 2010, 07:08 AM

Kevdog! What is the problem?

I know that there have been changes to the svn but the new script appears to be able to cope with things moving around. It does SEEM to hang for a while (eg looking for esmart) but it does (for me) eventually get things sorted out.

I'm also having some icon problems with some installs (but not others!).

Let me know what is troubling you and I'll try to help.

UPDATE: I have done a fresh install with the Lucid Xubuntu beta and the e17_svn script worked fine - but the "icon" problem is real - no ability to create new launch icons or edit existing ones via the built-in "Change Icon Properties" or "Create Icon" e17 tools. The cafelinux oz-e17-tools package is working fine (for better update control and backups)

Tux Aubrey

March 29th, 2010, 05:31 AM

Further to my last update, the icon problem now seems to be fixed. For me, that's the last annoying bug in e17 now gone bye-bye. I therefore pronounce e17 (from svn) Absolutely Perfect, until the next breakage.

Hi all!

I'm following the steps in the guide and it also hangs many time while "- searching for direct source url for 'esmart' ..."

How many time does it hangs? It's been hanged for more than fifteen minutes.

It seems that the problem is the easy_e17.sh found in the repo, it's outdated. I've done the following steps:

sudo apt-get remove purge e17-svn
rm -rf /var/cache/e17_src
wget http://omicron.homeip.net/projects/easy_e17/easy_e17.sh
/bin/bash easy_e17.sh -i

And now it's perfectly installed, I just have one problem... I'm installing e17 in a Ubuntu Server and have installed the xserver-xorg and gdm through synaptics. But after a restart the login screen doesn't shows up. What could be happening?

Searching a little bit I saw the package xfonts-base was missing, so I performed
sudo apt-get install xfonts-base
and startx worked fine.

Now I have another problem, I don't see the icons in the application taskbar. I only see the Terminal (normal and as root) and Python icons. What could be happening?

I got the "searching for direct source url for esmart" message hanging during my "sudo apt-get install e17-svn"... So I CTRL+C, then "vi /usr/bin/easy_e17.sh" to remove 'esmart', and did "sudo easy_e17.sh -i".

Now I have the "searching for direct source url for 'exchange'" message hanging... so, CTRL+C, removed "exchange", launched "sudo easy_e17.sh -i" again...

Looking at "svn co", esmart and exchange are in e/trunk/packaging/debian/extras/, so the script may need to be adapted to install these.

No, the packaging stuff is probably a snapshot release (svn 45887); in the meantime esmart and apparently also exchange were removed (we're currently on svn 48133), so if you're building from bleeding edge svn like with the easye17 scripts you should remove them from the script like you did.
If you suspect the script to be outdated, install e17-svn without building e17 immediately (you can do that by creating an empty file $HOME/_skip_easy_e17_install before you install e17-svn), then install e17-svn, compare the packages in the script with the svn tree here (http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/browser/trunk) and remove packages that aren't there anymore; then delete the skip file you created and run easy17.sh to build e.

That repo is fine, but the build is nearly a year old - like the one in the official e17 repos.

The easy_e17 script installs the latest (to the minute) code - with all the enhancements and risks that entails. I do not recommend it for newbies!

While the current version of the script does take quite a long while to find any components that have been moved around in the svn (eg. esmart), my experience is that they WILL be found and installed OK.

I have run it on several installs of both karmic and lucid and the results have been excellent. There have been recent problems with e17 but these are unrelated to the script AFAIK. They have all disappeared with updates.

I'm pretty sure there will be another binary build of e17 "any day now" ;-) for those who prefer their installs via a simple apt-get.

I have a problem in the scripe using the full package list, where elementary doesn't install (no build system error) and this causes a problem with python-elementary and shellementary

I've set the script to skip them as i'm typing this, but i'm not sure if anything will go wrong because of this.

Does anyone know how to do this?

VCoolio

May 9th, 2010, 08:34 AM

Nothing will go wrong; you'll miss shellementary which is nice but you can just use zenity in your scripts. I don't know if python-elementary is used at the moment (shellementary is in C now).
If you want them, you'll need to add TMP and PROTO to the 'trunk=' line (+/- line 35) in /usr/bin/easy_e17.sh. In the svn tree, elementary is in TMP/st/elementary, shellementary is in PROTO/shellementary. If you need python-elementary, it's in BINDINGS/python/python-elementary.
You can also create those folders in /var/cache/e17_src and e.g. in /var/cache/e17_src/TMP/st/elementary do:
sudo svn co -r <your current svn chechout> http://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/trunk/TMP/st/elementary
Then run the script like 'sudo easy_e17.sh -s --only=elementary'. This way you don't have to rebuild all of e17 and you make sure elementary is the same svn version as the rest. Find your current svn build number by: 'head -n4 /var/cache/e17_src/e/.svn/entries | tail -n1' (unless you updated the source without building it).

chaosx9

May 9th, 2010, 11:19 AM

i don't see that line in the script i downloaded (i didn't use the same process as described, but downloaded easy_e17.sh from http://omicron.homeip.net/ )

VCoolio

May 9th, 2010, 05:29 PM

The script this thread is about is a modified version of the one you have. Anyway, elementary is skipped now, only the packages on the lines with efl_basic= and bin_basic= will get installed (because they are included in packages_basic, which is default). So try this:

sudo easy_e17.sh -s --packages=packages_full --only=elementary

Hey,

So I'm running debian squeeze 64-bit. I used the svn code to install e17 and everything installed fine and everything seems to work perfectly except themes. It's using Black&White which I assume is the default theme for e17 and it won't let me install any new themes. I've tried importing them and get a error saying:

"Enlightenment was unable to import the theme.
Are you sure this is a valid theme?"

I've also tried moving them directly to the /themes folder and while they show up on the list, there is no preview and when I click okay, it refreshes, but keeps the default theme. I've tried the alternate themes that come in the repository as well as themes from various websites to the same effect.

Thank you for any help,
Khonsu

VCoolio

August 10th, 2010, 05:11 AM

What kind of themes do you try? They should be .edj files; you can put them in ~/.e/e/themes and you can get them here (http://exchange.enlightenment.org/) or here (http://e17-stuff.org/) and one here (http://code.google.com/p/detour/). Since development is fast, themes that aren't maintained can get outdated. If a theme has omissions, e falls back on the default theme for those items. Try themes starting with A- (by a guy that calls himself Agust) or detour; they are recent and/or maintained and should work.
If this doesn't work, try an update with the script (easy_e17.sh -u) and see if something was fixed.

Khonsu

August 10th, 2010, 03:30 PM

Yes, I was using .edj files and ones by Agust. I've also tried updating as well as reinstalling e17 to no avail.

Okay, I noticed when updating I got this error:

CRI: ecore_main.c:156 _ecore_main_fdh_epoll_add() eina_log_print() unknown domain -1, original message format 'adding poll on %d %08x'
CRI: ecore_main.c:375 ecore_main_fd_handler_add() eina_log_print() unknown domain -1, original message format 'Failed to add epoll fd %d!'

Could that have something to do with it? I f so, how would I go about fixing it?

I got the same errors after every install process. Obviously the most things are working correctly. After the Update i can't see any icons in the taskbar (TClock, Mem, IBox...) and no only the standard theme is working. Anyone with the same errors?

There were changes in the theme (edc) syntax, so you need to convert the old themes:
edje_convert theme.edj
I hope that helps.

Delete it from /usr/bin/easy_e17.sh, it's no longer among us. You can check here (http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/browser/trunk) if packages still exist or not, and where. The only really required packages are eina eet evas ecore efreet e_dbus embryo edje ethumb e, and eeze has been added lately, don't know if that's really necessary. The rest is for usability (some modules) and fun, and there are some applications you may or may not like.
Also consider a more up-to-date script, find it here (http://omicron.homeip.net/projects/easy_e17/easy_e17.sh) or if you feel adventurous use the preview version here (http://omicron.homeip.net/files/easy_e17_preview.sh)

OK, another problem, I am trying the preview build, but I have an issue when I create a .desktop file. I have no enlightenment_start in /opt/e17/bin how do I setup my .desktop file?

Sorry for being a pain in the **** :)

If you start from GDM/KDM/whatever, you simply copy enlightenment.desktop file from /opt/e17/share/xsessions/ into /usr/share/xsessions/ and restart gdm. you will need root perm for this.

You'll need autopoint if you have maverick (ubuntu 10.10), else gettext; the problem is pointed out (or, autopointed) in this line:./autogen.sh: 8: autopoint: not found You can use this site (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=lucid&arch=any&searchon=contents&keywords=autopoint) to search for packages or package contents.
Edit: I see that maverick has the package e17 in the universe repo; that is outdated of course; but if you have maverick and universe repo enabled, do 'sudo apt-get build-dep e17' which will get you all building dependencies and then run the script again.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBUDEV_CFLAGS
and LIBUDEV_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Udev is installed, synaptic shows a package called libudev0 installed, but nothing just called libudev. Tried running "sudo apt-get build-dep e17" and get an error "E: Unable to find a source package for e17"

Any suggestions?

Genesius

October 18th, 2010, 08:29 PM

*sigh* fix one problem and come up with another. . .

Went back into Synaptic and found a package called libudev-dev. Installing that fixed the install problem. Logged out of Gnome & into E17, happy happy joy joy.

Shut down, came back a little later, Now when I log into E, I get a black screen. If I click, the menu pops up and I can launch programs. Tried to change to the default theme, my Gnome wallpaper flashed up briefly, then back to black.Since my Gnome wallpaper popped up, I assume something in E is tangled up with gdm, just not sure what to do about it.

VCoolio

October 19th, 2010, 03:46 AM

You don't really need eeze (yet?), it's the e17 udev-based replacement for hal. Hal works just as well with e17 though (in some aspects even better; the places module needs hal afaik), but in the long run hal will be left. Also when compiling stuff, you always need to look for a -dev package when the process complains about a missing dependency.

As for your problem, I'm not sure. The popping wallpaper is probably your root window; not to worry (if you do, use feh to change it, but you'll only profit from that with semi-transparant apps). Try to (re)move $HOME/.e and login to e again for a fresh start. If that doesn't help, it's something deeper than your current user settings.

If anyone has been having problems getting ecore to run you might have to make a change to the configure.ac file. I kept getting an error about not being able to find Makefile.in.in

sudo nano /var/cache/e17_src/ecore/configure.ac

Line 1413

$po_makefile_in

Replace with:

po/Makefile.in

I was able to run the script and ecore worked. I am now failing at a different point. I have a feeling its going to be a similar problem.

Its sad when this post isnt maintained anymore.

It's also that the repos aren't maintained anymore (or are they?). Anyway, you can still compile efl+e17 using an up to date script (http://omicron.homeip.net/files/easy_e17_preview.sh), which is what installing e17-svn would do too. Copy the script to $HOME/bin or /usr/local/bin, make executable (chmod +x script) then run with --help flag for instructions, or to install for example with -i --srcrev=55246 (don't use sudo; wait for the script to ask for your password; else all will be built as root and sources downloaded to /root) to install efl beta 3 and snapshot version of the rest. Check for dependencies (http://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=download&l=en) and support (http://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=support&l=en). The script isn't officially supported, but you can ask about build failures.

Better start new topic, this one is all but closed. Anyway, a list of dependencies to build e on ubuntu: apt-get install automake gcc make subversion pkg-config build-essential libtool doxygen zlib1g-dev libjpeg8 libjpeg8-dev libfreetype6-dev libudev-dev libdbus-1-dev liblua5.1-0-dev libxml2-dev libxext-dev libxrandr-dev dbus-x11 libxcomposite-dev libxcomposite1 libxdamage-dev libxdamage1 libxkbfile-dev libxkbfile1 libxkbfile-dev libxkbfile1 libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxslt1-dev gettext mesa-common-dev libiptcdata-dev libexif-dev libpam-dev flex bison byacc libsdl1.2-dev
You should run the script without sudo; then it will ask for the sudo password itself and build stuff as user and only install as root. The build dirs will then be in ~/e17_src; if you ran the script with sudo before, you can "sudo rm -r /root/e17_src" (btw, always be careful with rm -r).
Try to "make clean distclean" inside the edje folder before trying again, or let the script do it: easy_e17.sh -c -c --only=edje.
Also make sure everything has the same svn revision. So for example check what revision is current (something like 62695) and then run the script like "easy_e17.sh --srcrev=62695 -i".
These are just general tips; your error sounds like it may not be solved by the above (except the run without sudo part maybe).
