Build requirements
------------------
EDE 2.0 is using fltk2 toolkit which is not officially released yet. Lately
fltk2 has been pretty stable, so you should be able to use any reasonably
fresh SVN snapshot from www.fltk.org. Nevertheless, we will (soon) keep our own "fork"
called fltk-copy which is basically the last SVN snapshot that EDE is known
to work with. If there are any patches required for proper EDE functioning,
you should find them in fltk-copy tree. Further instructions will be in
fltk-copy/README.ede
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
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
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.
Also you will need Jam utility. Jam is make replacement and removes a lot of it's
limitations. Current source can be built either via jam or make, but note that make
builds will be soon removed.

It will be ported to fltk1 as soon as we finish efiler (see below) cause we
would like to use same widgets for displaying file list.

It will either be completely rewritten or removed, because EDE 2 will use XDG menus
(FreeDesktop.org).
- e*conf
Many of the control center applets will be dropped or replaced with something
else. epanelconf obviously depends on eworkpanel which is not yet finished.
