HOWTO: Bleeding edge e17 with updater script!

[Xgkkp]

It has been mentioned many times that you need the nvidia-glx-dev file for nvidia cards, but what should I have If I am using ATI?

I don't think that you need them. i have an intel intergrated graphics card in my laptop and i built e17 just fine without nvidia-glx-dev.

I had the exact same freetype problem. Does anybody have a workaround?

[leonardovcr]

Just dropping by to say that version 4.0.0 of e17genmenu has been released.
Grab it here.
I haven't tested it though...

Edit1.
Oh, and some fixes have been made to the get_e script. Check it here .

Hi everyone, I was just trying to figure out everything I needed to do to get E17 working in Breezy using CVS. I'm not having much luck, Here's my error so far:

Running aclocal...
aclocal: configure.in: 17: macro `AM_ENABLE_SHARED' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 18: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library


I know this guide is for Hoary, but I am trying to figure out a good way to get this to work in Breezy, and I figured compiling from cvs would be the best solution. Any ideas on what is causing this error?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe you should wite what dependencies for the rest of us that also want this to work, if there are more than the ones described in the howto at the beginnning

Okay, e17 up and running. There were a lot of dependencies to add. Mostly the development stuff needed for different portions of e17 that a normal Ubuntu install doesn't include. I removed ( said "no" ) to eterminus and most of the other experimental or older items in the get_e.sh file.

Hi all,
I'm rather tempted to try e17, but would like to keep my gnome available.
How does it work at the moment: do you choose between e17 and gnome at the login screen? As long as it leaves me the choice, that's fine!
Thanks,
Olivier

Yup the login screen lets you choose between your installed desktop environments, just make sure you follow the Howto correctly
