It is a bit tricky to build the EFL and Enlightenment on FreeBSD, but entirely doable nevertheless. I have tried what I shall describe below on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE a little while ago, and it probably applies to FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE as well. 1. Check whether or not you have the necessary dependencies mentioned on the following wiki page http://wiki.enlightenment.org/index.php/E17_User_Guide/Installing_Using_CVS 2. You may want to take note of the correct build order of the EFL modules in the aforementioned wiki page. There is a longer, more detailed list on the wiki page you have mentioned. 3. For reasons I could not isolate, ./autogen.sh fails to generate appropriate configure scripts. However there is a workaround; the FreeBSD port devel/configgen. Install it. 4. Before you commence build procedures, you will have to set several environment variables: set CFLAGS to " -lintl -liconv -g -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/local/lib -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include ", set CPPFLAGS to " -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include ", set ACLOCAL_FLAG to " -I /usr/local/share/aclocal ", and make sure that /usr/local/gnu-autotools/bin is at the very beginning of the PATH string. 5. In each subdirectory, invoke configgen.sh with the appropriate option to generate the configure script (see the options list with -help). I used option -gnome successfuly. 6. Once the configure script is generated, invoke it with its optional arguments, and perform build and install with gmake.
