# EDE
|
|
|
|
EDE, the `Equinox Desktop Environment`, is a small and fast desktop
|
|
environment that uses the [FLTK toolkit](http://www.fltk.org).
|
|
For more details and the philosophy behind it, see
|
|
[about EDE on our wiki](http://equinox-project.org/wiki/AboutEde).
|
|
|
|
## Build requirements
|
|
|
|
EDE requires FLTK; at the time of this writing, the latest stable
|
|
branch is 1.3.x.
|
|
|
|
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 needed both for building and running the
|
|
desktop. Edelib is developed and released together with EDE.
|
|
|
|
It is *strongly* recommended to use matching versions of EDE and
|
|
edelib (i.e. versions released at the same time) or to checkout
|
|
both from the repository at the same time to make sure they work
|
|
together well.
|
|
|
|
Also you will need the `jam` tool. Jam is a *make* replacement and you
|
|
can find it on our repository.
|
|
|
|
## Downloading the code
|
|
|
|
The best way to get the latest code is checking it out from our
|
|
repository. These are the modules you should checkout (with their paths):
|
|
|
|
- *jam* - `git clone https://github.com/edeproject/jam.git`
|
|
- *edelib* - `git clone https://github.com/edeproject/edelib.git`
|
|
- *ede* - `git clone https://github.com/edeproject/ede.git`
|
|
|
|
If you already have Jam installed, there is of course no need to download
|
|
it again. Either vanilla Jam or FTJam can be used to build EDE. Boost Jam is
|
|
known to *not* work.
|
|
|
|
## Compiling and installing
|
|
|
|
In order to build and install EDE do the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. compile and install `jam` first; going to jam source directory and running `make` will do
|
|
the job; after that you should get `bin.YOUR_PLATFORM` directory (e.g. 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
|
|
|
|
3. change into the ede directory and run `./autogen.sh`
|
|
|
|
4. after that, do `./configure --enable-debug`
|
|
|
|
5. jam
|
|
|
|
6. jam install
|
