I'm confused as to what exactly you are looking for - you want it to be easier to compile things? Compiling software is rarely a simple process (although the easy_e17 script does a pretty good job of it). If you are looking for an "easier" way to get to the Enlightenment desktop I would recommend giving Bodhi Linux, Macpup or even Ubuntu with the E PPA enabled a try - that way you don't have to compile things.
