README for EDE 2.0 pre-alpha
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
($Id$)
|
|
|
|
Please read this document before using or contributing to EDE 2.0 source code
|
|
before or during 2.0alpha release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Jam can be downloaded from our repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compiling
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
At the moment, certain modules in EDE do not compile! In order to build and install
|
|
EDE do the following:
|
|
|
|
1. run ./prepare
|
|
|
|
2. (old method, soon will be removed)
|
|
./configure [OPTIONS] (we suggest using --enable-debug)
|
|
cd edelib2; make; cd ..
|
|
|
|
Then go into directories of individual modules and compile them. Type
|
|
cd $MODULE; make; make install; cd ..
|
|
|
|
3. (new method, default)
|
|
./configure [OPTIONS] (we suggest using --enable-debug)
|
|
jam
|
|
|
|
Installation is not finished yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stuff that doesn't compile
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
- edewm
|
|
- eiconman
|
|
- eworkpanel
|
|
We are in the process of rewriting these modules from scratch. Please use edewm,
|
|
eiconman and eworkpanel from EDE 1.x (it should work without major problems).
|
|
|
|
- efinder
|
|
It will be ported to fltk2 as soon as we finish efiler (see below) cause we
|
|
would like to use same widgets for displaying file list.
|
|
|
|
- emenueditor
|
|
It will either be completely rewritten or removed, because EDE 2 will use XDG menus
|
|
(FreeDesktop.org).
|
|
|
|
|
|
New modules in EDE 2.0
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
- edialog
|
|
Command line utility for displaying dialogs (useful for scripting). It is very
|
|
UNFINISHED.
|
|
|
|
- efiler
|
|
Small file manager. Currently you can only view files but not copy/rename/delete
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
- eimage
|
|
Small image viewer. It should be fully usable but still some bugs present.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Contributors wanted
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
We would very appreciate help from contributors willing to take any of following
|
|
tasks:
|
|
|
|
- Complete edialog and become its maintainer
|
|
- Port efinder to fltk2/edelib2 and become its maintainer
|
|
- Write new enotepad using editor from fltk/test (I believe this is easier than
|
|
porting old enotepad to fltk2/edelib2) 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 fltk2/edelib2 and become its maintainer
|
|
- Find useful fltk2 apps on www.fltk.org and see if they can be ede-ified
|
|
|
|
Also, EDE code is sparkled with comments starting with TODO and FIXME - please see
|
|
what of that you can do. EDE coding standards and EDE HIG documents are being prepared.
