Enlightenment e17 on Ubuntu 9.10 “Karmic Koala”
We’ll install Enlightenment e17 via the easy_e17.sh-Script, so get it first:
wget http://omicron.homeip.net/projects/easy_e17/easy_e17.sh
chmod +x easy_e17.sh
In order to build successfully, we’ll need some more packages, so fire up apt-get:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake1.9 subversion zlib1g-dev cython libglib2.0-dev libltdl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev liblua5.1-0-dev libfontconfig1-dev libvlc-dev libx11-dev libdbus-1-dev libbz2-dev libid3tag0-dev libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev libungif4-dev libjpeg62-dev libfreetype6-dev libpam0g-dev libxcursor-dev libxml2-dev libssl-dev autoconf pkg-config libpng3-dev libxkbfile-dev libsqlite3-dev libimlib2-dev libtagc0-dev libtag1-dev libxmu-dev libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev libasound2-dev
all necessary dependencies will be installed.
Ready? Go!
sudo ./easy_e17.sh -i -e –packagelist=full
This will take a while, so get a coffee and a sandwich. But there are a few steps we can do aside.
Open a new terminal window and create the file /usr/share/xsessions/e17.desktop with the following content:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=e17 Comment= Exec=/opt/e17/bin/enlightenment_start Icon= Type=Application |
Now edit /etc/environment or your local shell-config and append “:/opt/e17/bin” to the $PATH-entry (Without the quotes, of course).
Next time you’ll log off and see your GDM again, there should be an entry “e17″ in the window manager section.
