On 13 May, David Ray shouted:
-> The Enlightenment DR 0.14 demo compiles and runs fine on a Macintosh
-> Powerbook 2400 running LinuxPPC. It looks great and has been very stable.
-> It might become my window manager of choice. I installed it from the
-> sources that were listed at the FTP site below. I went through the
-> exercises in the README and all worked. Happy joy.
WOW. runs on PPC. Kewl. Glad to hear it. :)
-> I'm running a special build of the Linux 2.1.24 kernel supporting video
-> and other devices of the Powerbook 3400/2400 built by Paul Mackerras. Also
-> a special version of the X server that has accelerated (native) video
-> drivers for the built-in Powerbook LCD at 800x600, 16-bit color, built by
-> Fabio Riccardi. Before installing E, I've been using AfterStep.
->
-> As the README suggested I installed everything before compiling imlib,
-> then compiled E. I improvised how to get the necessary packages installed
-> before compiling imlib, some came from RedHat RPMS at ftp.linuxppc.org,
-> some weren't available there so I get them from RedHat RPMS at
-> ftp.mklinux.apple.com. I had no problem compiling the source code for the
-> three packages at the ftp site.
unfortunate that you have to improvise for the PPC - you still may have
to for a while until PPC Linux becomes popular. :) I've made the
srouces to 0.14 now fully autoconf/automake, and they check for
EVERYTHING - so the compile will pick up on you missing something.
-> I had a little trouble figuring out how to get it to work at first. When
-> following the directions in the README, I wasn't sure how to get a
-> terminal at first. What worked best for me was I duplicated my "startx"
-> script to "starte", then changed "starte" to reference .xinitre instead
-> of .xinitrc. Each user can then create a .xinitre file of their liking.
-> I created one for root, which started a couple terminals, xload and
-> Netscape 4.04 under E.
thats possible. what I do is I have my .xsession start 2 Eterms wiht
different geometries. in one Eterm I type:
cd C/DEV/e/src
./enlightenment
I only do this every now and again anyway.. i don't tend to log out..
:) I need to do this as I restart E often when I'm doing development on
it.. :)
-> The other problem I had was that root doesn't normally have '.'
-> (current directory) in its path, so E wasn't finding any of the image
-> widgets in the /pix directory. The easiest way to fix this was to add
-> '.' to my path.
it shouldn't affect finding the images. if you run it from the e/src dir
it will find them... ti's temporary until we have a config system whihc
is being put in right now.
-> Thanks for making this available. Sometimes it amazes me how source code
-> can compile just the same on an Intel box and a Mac Powerbook. Looking
-> forward to the full DR14 release which is said to be around 5/28.
It amazes me too. not just the compiling but the fact despite endianess
differences it runs properly aswell! :) that makes me especially happy.
Well I'll keep working on it. Keep trying it out. I'm glad you could get
it all working.
