Build requirements
------------------
2006-08-23 14:59:00 +04:00
EDE 2.0 is using FLTK toolkit from http://www.fltk.org[www.fltk.org]. At the time
of this writing, latest stable version is 1.1.9.
Since FLTK lacks many things needed for developing a full *nix desktop
environment, we have developed a small add-on library called 'edelib'. This
library is also required for compiling EDE 2.0 and should be released together with EDE.
We *strongly* recommend that you use matching versions of ede and
edelib (e.g. released at the same time) or that you do SVN checkout at the same time due
their frequent changes.
2006-08-23 14:59:00 +04:00
Make sure you have eFLTK installed too, because some packages still requires it.
Also you will need a Jam tool. Jam is a make replacement and you can find it on our repository.
Downloading the code
--------------------
2006-08-23 14:59:00 +04:00
The best way to download latest code is checking it out from our repository. These modules
you should checkout (with their paths):
2007-03-17 14:28:25 +03:00
- jam : 'svn co https://ede.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ede/trunk/jam'
- edelib : 'svn co https://ede.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ede/trunk/edelib'
- ede : 'svn co https://ede.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ede/trunk/ede2'
- efltk : 'svn co https://ede.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ede/trunk/efltk'
2007-03-17 14:28:25 +03:00
If you already have Jam installed, there is no need to download it.

Compiling and installing
------------------------
2006-08-23 14:59:00 +04:00
In order to build and install EDE do the following steps:
2006-08-23 14:59:00 +04:00
1. compile and install jam first; going to jam source directory and runnig 'make' will do
the job; after that you should get 'bin.YOUR_PLATFORM' directory (on Linux it will be
bin.linux) and copy 'jam' executable in your $PATH, e.g. /usr/local/bin
2. compile and install edelib; please read README file in edelib directory
2006-08-23 14:59:00 +04:00
3. compile and install efltk; './configure --disable-mysql --disable-unixODBC && make && make install'
will do the job
2006-08-23 14:59:00 +04:00
4. go in ede2 directory and run './autogen.sh'
5. after that, goes './configure --enable-debug'
6. jam
2007-03-17 14:28:25 +03:00
7. jam install
