E17 - request

Post by Pulfer »

E17 in 2009.0 seems to be broken. For some people it works, for some not. More information can be found here:

https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=45176

According to the discussion at bug tracker, the problem is already fixed in E17 SVN. But still there is no new task-e17 in the official contrib/backports. Does anyone want to build packages for E17 from SVN?

Ok, I have no more interesting packages to work on so I'll try to build packages for the newest E17 from SVN for 2008.1 & 2009.0. If the current SVN revision is broken, I'll try to build packages for E17 0.16.999.050 (last official snapshot). It's quite old but still it's better than 0.16.999.043.

But it's a lot of work to do. It looks like many things changed in SVN since .043 release, some new libraries were introduced etc. E17 contains 30+ packages so it will take at least 2 weeks for me to build and test everything, I guess. :geek:

XCB support in Evas library seems to be broken, the ticket is already posted to the bugtracker. :? Hope it's not vital.

Ok, E17 from SVN seems to work fine in 2008.1. Now it's time for 2009.0. And then for heavy testing...

It still has no system tray module and has very basic file manager but overall it looks impressive :lol: I tried to work in new E17 for 5-6 hours yesterday and it was OK. Configuration tool segfaulted once but otherwise it seems to be stable. I'll try to build packages for 2009.0 as soon as possible.

I have problems with building esmart package for 2009.0. I can send SRPMs and i686 RPMS for 2008.1 now, but I don't know what's about 2009.0.

If I simply run ./configure and then make in source directory, everything goes fine. But if I try to build a package with %configure2_5x, esmart_trans_x11 compilation doesn't want to see Ecore_Data.h and quits with errors ("undefined function" or something like that). I'll try to solve this problem tomorrow but if I fail, perhaps I'll need some help with 2009.0... :oops: In 2008.1 everything works fine, don't know why it's so different in 2009.0...

RPM building configure2_5x macros tries to build esmart_trans_x11 with:
/bin/sh ../../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -O2 -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=i586 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -version-info 9:0:9 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--no-undefined -o libesmart_trans_x11.la -rpath /usr/lib esmart_trans_x11.lo -levas -lecore_x -lImlib2 -leina -L/usr/X11R6/lib
And it doesn't work. In 2008.1 it tries to build without -Wl,--no-undefined by default so it works... But if I add -Wl,--no-undefined manually, it will exit with the same error in 2008.1.

UPDATE. OK, the problem is solved. Added ecore-evas >= 0.9.9 string into PKG_CHECK_MODULES(TRANSX11 ...) subsection in configure.ac and it worked.

Tested 2009.0 packages in VirtualBox and on my second "real" PC, everything is working almost fine. Installed with "urpmi ./*", not with "rpm -ivh ./*" because E17 requires many other packages from Main and Contrib.

I have already tested your E17 and works well. :D

Could you create task-17 for those who want to test it? ;)

I guess for now e itself is something like task-17, because it requires all other packages (except for e_modules and -devel ones). Tell me if I'm wrong, please.

We'll need task-e17 after we have some independent E17-applications like eterm (I'm planning to start building them soon).

BTW, E17 doesn't have system tray module. The best workaround for this problem:
1. Install trayer
2. Make trayer.desktop like shown below (look at "Exec" field) and put it in E17 autorun:
[vuohi@mandriva ~]$ cat /usr/share/applications/trayer.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Categories=Utility;
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=trayer --SetDockType true --widthtype request --edge bottom --align right --transparent true --alpha 255
GenericName=Trayer
GenericName[ru]=Trayer
Icon=konsole
Name=Trayer
Name[ru]=Trayer
Terminal=false
Type=Application
X-DCOP-ServiceType=Multi
X-KDE-AuthorizeAction=shell_access
X-KDE-StartupNotify=true
I just took konsole.desktop and modified it a bit :D

I had Enlightenment working on a fresh install of 2009.0 last Saturday, from task-e17. It was a bit old so I tried to update it using the easy_e17 script and totalled my install (oops!). So I re-installed on Sunday and e17 now just segfaults, very weird behaviour.

I have an Advent 4211 netbook (MSI-Wind clone) originally had Ubuntu installed, but didn't get on with it, but fell in love with E17, its ideal for netbooks. Really like your idea for the task tray, stroke of genius!

Just discovered MiB, whilst googling for ways to install E17 and have been monitoring this thread for a few days now, its a very good resource.

Do you need volunteers for testing? if you do I will help. email: xirconuk@gmail.com just need some instructions on how to install / rpm locations.

Cheers
