[e-users] build problem

Hi all, I'm having trouble building the EFL, etc. libraries... I typically download the tarballs and compile from those, but i've also now tried following the directions on: https://www.enlightenment.org/docs-efl-start Compiling all the libraries (in the order specified) still results in the
