README for EDE 2.0 pre-alpha
|

============================

|

Readme for EDE 2.0
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
Please read this document before using or contributing to EDE 2.0 source code
|
||||
before or during 2.0alpha release.
|
||||
before 2.0 release.
|
||||
|
||||
[NOTE]
|
||||
.This is alpha product
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
EDE 2.0 is not finished yet and many components are not completed,
|
||||
can crash or misbehave
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
Build requirements
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
EDE 2.0 is using fltk1 toolkit from www.fltk.org. At the time of this writing,
|
||||
last released version was 1.1.7 and 1.1.8 was coming really soon. We
|
||||
EDE 2.0 is using FLTK toolkit from http://www.fltk.org[www.fltk.org]. At the time
|
||||
of this writing, last released version was 1.1.7 and 1.1.8 was coming really soon. We
|
||||
recommend using the latest daily snapshot - they are extremely stable and
|
||||
that's what we use internally - although 1.1.7 should work too.
|
||||
|
||||
Nevertheless, we will (soon) keep our own "fork" called fltk-copy which is
|
||||
basically the last SVN snapshot of fltk that EDE is known to work with. If
|
||||
there are any patches required for proper EDE functioning, you should find
|
||||
them in fltk-copy/patches/ tree. Further instructions will be in
|
||||
fltk-copy/README.EDE
|
||||
|
||||
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 EDE2. It should be released together
|
||||
with EDE. We *strongly* recommend that you use matching versions of ede and
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure you have efltk installed, because some packages still requires it.
|
||||
Make sure you have eFLTK installed too, because some packages still requires it.
|
||||
|
||||
Also you will need Jam utility. Jam is a make replacement and removes a lot
|
||||
of its limitations. Current EDE source can be built either via jam or make,
|
||||
but note that make builds will be soon removed.
|
||||
Also you will need a Jam tool. Jam is a make replacement and removes a lot
|
||||
of its limitations and you can find it on our repository.
|
||||
|
||||
Jam can be downloaded from our repository.
|
||||
Downloading the code
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to download latest code is checking it out from our repository. Make sure
|
||||
you checkout jam (if you already don't have it installed), edelib, ede2 and efltk modules.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the commands:
|
||||
|
||||
- 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'
|
||||
|
||||
Compiling
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
At the moment, certain modules in EDE do not compile! In order to build and install
|
||||
EDE do the following steps:
|
||||
In order to build and install EDE do the following steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. ./autogen.sh
|
||||
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. ./configure [OPTIONS] (we suggest using --enable-debug)
|
||||
2. compile and install edelib; please read README file in edelib directory
|
||||
|
||||
3. (old method, soon will be removed)
|
||||
|
||||
Go into directories of individual modules and compile them. Type
|
||||
cd $MODULE; make; make install; cd ..
|
||||
3. compile and install efltk; './configure --disable-mysql --disable-unixODBC && make && make install'
|
||||
will do the job
|
||||
|
||||
Since developers don't use make anymore, this method could get broken
|
||||
occasionally.
|
||||
4. then go in ede2 directory and run './autogen.sh'
|
||||
|
||||
3. (new method, default)
|
||||
5. after that, goes './configure --enable-debug'
|
||||
|
||||
jam
|
||||
6. jam
|
||||
|
||||
"jam install" is not finished yet. You can use various programs from
|
||||
their work directories, or copy them into e.g. /usr/bin
|
||||
7. jam install

Contributors wanted

-------------------
|

|

We would very appreciate help from contributors willing to take any of following
|

tasks:
|
||||
|
||||
- Port efinder to fltk/edelib and become its maintainer
|
||||
- Write new enotepad using editor from fltk/test (I believe this is easier than
|
||||
porting old enotepad from efltk to fltk) and become its maintainer
|
||||
- Propose new designs for econtrol and eworkpanel (that are realistic to implement
|
||||
with fltk, ofcourse :)
|
||||
- Find any old ede application, port to fltk/edelib and become its maintainer
|
||||
- Find useful fltk apps on www.fltk.org and see if they can be ede-ified
|
||||
As usualy, every help is very appreciated :)
|

Also, EDE code is sparkled with comments starting with TODO and FIXME -

please see what of that you can do (just type e.g. "grep TODO . -R"). EDE

coding standards and EDE HIG documents are being prepared.
