Enlightenment install walkthrough

[Cobalt]

Can anyone type up an install walkthough using the enlightenment binaries from forked.net? I ran all the GUI installers but it has been quite some time since I last played with elightenment on my old linux box, not sure where to start.

after running the installers, just type 'enlightenment' and it will ask if you want to allow e to edit ~/.xinitrc

Thanks for the reply.
Well I hate stealing time from you, I'd prefer you packaged more software for the more adept to use. I appreciate your response. I installed all the packages ( enlightenment, fnlib, freetype, libghttp, dlcompat, Imlib, eSound) while logged in as root, then went to the terminal, su'ed to root, then typed enlightenment, and got this:
dyld: enlightenment can't open library: /usr/local/lib/libaudiofile.0.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

Oddly, although I have no idea what the rules are for using any of this [must we use XFree86? etc.] and can therefore get no use out of any of these, I *can* answer part of this question.

If you download and install <A HREF="http://http://macosx.forked.net/ports/audiofile-0.2.1.pkg.tgz" TARGET=_blank>audiofile</A>

the package contains audiolib dynamic library, among others. However, you still have to tweak other includes like the imglib stuff.

In fact, I installed <A HREF="http://http://macosx.forked.net/ports/imlib-1.9.10.pkg.tgz" TARGET=_blank>Imlib</A> as root and tried with and without first compiling zlib, pnglib, etc. and enlightenment still won't work, libImlib.1.dylib being the sticking point. libImlib.1.dylib(.so) is part of the imglib package [and to add to the confusion, there seems to be an imglib 2 required by the latest enlightenment that is "a totally separate" bundle from imglib.

I wonder if you need to have an X server going, by the way? do you need, e.g., XDarwin running -quartz and then you go to Terminal and type enlightenment and have to hack a DISPLAY variable?

I am assuming that a window manager still needs an x server.

Is XFree86 the only free X server for OS X?

Anyway, even running XFree86 [XDarwin, XonX], enlightenment wouldn't work. I hope there is a walkthrough at some point.

give this a try and let me know if it works -- as soon as im done fishing for the year ill be able to create a real fix and a better system for delivering required libraries and packages. <A HREF="http://macosx.forked.net/ports/imlib-1.9.10-2.pkg" TARGET=_blank>http://macosx.forked.net/ports/imlib-1.9.10-2.pkg.tgz</A>

404 File not found on that link apex, please fix. Can't wait to try it out.

[kosta]

i can't wait either. thanks for all your help, apex, ob1, jason - great work.

ack, I forgot the .tgz. <A HREF="http://macosx.forked.net/ports/imlib-1.9.10-2.pkg.tgz" TARGET=_blank>http://macosx.forked.net/ports/imlib-1.9.10-2.pkg.tgz</A>

apex, i installed the package and i still get the wonderful error message:
dyld: enlightenment can't open library: /usr/local/lib/libImlib.1.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

when i try to type enlightenment in the terminal. (i should be doing this from the terminal, right, not X11)

anyways, if you have any ideas on what i can do please let me know. otherwise, how do i install the vwm-2.2.4 window manger... it just unstuffs to a folder called /usr/, but i don't know where to copy that to

thanks

kosta

I'm getting that as well. Quite annoying. Has anyone actually gotten it to work?
