Now I get this error:

I took a look at gentoo-portage.com and I found that I had not put the "doc"USE flag in my make.conf. I put it in and now when I emerge edje, I get 3 new files I have to emerge. Is this supposed to happen? I am emerging them and I will see if it works after.

Ooops, I forgot to post my solution to that problem, that i mention 2 or 3 pages before.

Varean,
your problems happen because either you compile some e17 part manually -not with emerge- or emerge do some wild things with install paths. And you end up with twin libraries on different locations.
So when you emerge eet and edje it compile the latest eet but edje try to compile against some old eet that have a wrong EET_DATA_DESCRIPTOR_CLASS_VERSION declaration.

check for the following folders:
/usr/local/include
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/share
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/etc

and delete all Eet* libeet* edje* and libedje*. I delete too any e stuff it appears there like edb*, just in case.
(For complete security clean /var/tmp/portage and ccache would not be a bad thing)

reemerge everything from the beginning (eet should be recompiled to get shore that everithing goes to the correct path)
be happy

O.o It works! Thanks for your help guys, I am glad I have the wonderful E17 running again with its nice configuration panel feature (which, btw, is REALLY, REALLY, nice). I posted a screenie in OTW forum, so check it out. Thanks again for the help.

Yeah, I totally dig that config panel too. Plus, this build seems more stable than the previous.

So far e17 has been surprisingly stable and user friendly for me. I'm enjoying the experiance quite a bit. I even got my trusty xfce4-panel working with it. Also e17 seems to play nice with xcompmgr

(except for flickering in mplayer/opengl games, but I just turn off xcompmgr when using those). You can check out some screenshots in my sig. For whatever reason transparency doesn't show up in the screenshots though. But some of the windows are semi-transparent in reality.

Hi Varean, glad it works

What amazes me in this late e17 version is the stability. You know, this is suppose to be pre-alpha, pure CVS, and i don't have any error arround :lol:

in /usr/local/lib, I have

108 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 106300 Jul 17 11:22 libe.a
4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1311 Jul 17 11:22 libe.la
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jul 17 11:22 libe.so -> libe.so.0.0.0
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jul 17 11:22 libe.so.0 -> libe.so.0.0.0
108 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 104446 Jul 17 11:22 libe.so.0.0.0

Do you think this is related to e17 ?

I think I have duplicate enlightenment version

RuiP · l33t Joined: 15 Jan 2005 Posts: 643

sian, yes they belong to x11-wm/e.
They should be in /usr/lib.
You can delete those and reemerge all e packages to be shore that everything will be ok.

good luck

I have updated my e17 and it delated my settings, so i have to set it up again.
I'm trying to set different background to each desktop by

sian · Apprentice Joined: 26 Jan 2004 Posts: 288

You need to do :

enlightenment_remote -desktop-bg-add 0 1 0 0 /path/to/background1.edj

enlightenment_remote -desktop-bg-add 0 0 1 0 /path/to/background2.edj

See the site www.get-e.org

I suggest you to write a script so that you can recover you config

Since setting up my system with prelink it seems that the e17 eye candy stuff (rain, fire, etc..) are eating up a little bit less of my cpu. I wonder if this is just my imagination or truly an effect of prelink?

Anyone having problem with the built-in file manager? Mine worked once, but segfaults now for the last month or two. I've updates many times since, but it stil segfaults. It's kind of annoying since I can use eap editor to choose icons and I'd really lve to see how the work on the FM is progressing. I'm running amd64, so I suspect this to be the problem, anyone has it working on 64bit?

thanks

there was once allready a debate about EFM and more or less the conclusion was that is better that you dont use it

from get-e.org FAQ

I could be able to remove text by editing the color variables in the module.edc. I updated all the e17 packages with the latest cvs version. So the trick for removing text from engage doesn't works for me:

EFL User Guide Engage

Any ideas on what to do?

Thanks for any advice.
