Can anyone type up an install walkthough using the enlightenment binaries from forked.net? I ran all the GUI installers but it has been quite some time since I last played with elightenment on my old linux box, not sure where to start.

after running the installers, just type 'enlightenment' and it will ask if you want to allow e to edit ~/.xinitrc

Thanks for the reply.
Well I hate stealing time from you, I'd prefer you packaged more software for the more adept to use. I appreciate your response. I installed all the packages ( enlightenment, fnlib, freetype, libghttp, dlcompat, Imlib, eSound) while logged in as root, then went to the terminal, su'ed to root, then typed enlightenment, and got this:
dyld: enlightenment can't open library: /usr/local/lib/libaudiofile.0.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

Oddly, although I have no idea what the rules are for using any of this [must we use XFree86? etc.] and can therefore get no use out of any of these, I *can* answer part of this question.

If you download and install audiofile

the package contains audiolib dynamic library, among others. However, you still have to tweak other includes like the imglib stuff.

In fact, I installed Imlib as root and tried with and without first compiling zlib, pnglib, etc. and enlightenment still won't work, libImlib.1.dylib being the sticking point. libImlib.1.dylib(.so) is part of the imglib package [and to add to the confusion, there seems to be an imglib 2 required by the latest enlightenment that is "a totally separate" bundle from imglib.

I wonder if you need to have an X server going, by the way? do you need, e.g., XDarwin running -quartz and then you go to Terminal and type enlightenment and have to hack a DISPLAY variable?

I am assuming that a window manager still needs an x server.

Is XFree86 the only free X server for OS X?

Anyway, even running XFree86 [XDarwin, XonX], enlightenment wouldn't work. I hope there is a walkthrough at some point.

apex, i installed the package and i still get the wonderful error message:
dyld: enlightenment can't open library: /usr/local/lib/libImlib.1.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

when i try to type enlightenment in the terminal. (i should be doing this from the terminal, right, not X11)

anyways, if you have any ideas on what i can do please let me know. otherwise, how do i install the vwm-2.2.4 window manger... it just unstuffs to a folder called /usr/, but i don't know where to copy that to

thanks

kosta

I'm getting that as well. Quite annoying. Has anyone actually gotten it to work?
