Finally got round to installing the e17 libraries (Enlightenment Foundation Libraries) over the weekend which, contrary to the title was fairly easy. It just took a while but then we are talking about ./autogen.sh make & & make install x 17 here. It only tripped up running make on Epsilon. I was a little concerned about asking questions about CVS code on #edevelop after reading the warning but it turned out fine and a fix was submitted to CVS as I was chatting to the devs. Now that’s service!
Unfortuantely the reason for me installing the libraries in the first place didn’t work out so well. Evidence is the new(ish) file manager for DR17 so I thought I’d give it a go but while it seems to make ok something fails when installing it which means the icon view doesn’t work, which is a shame as that’s the main reason I wanted to try it. I could try the RPM’s but things rarely go right when combining Slackware and the RPM utility.
Guess it’s time to give Engage a go now i’ve got the libraries installed.
