Readme for EDE 2.0
==================

Please read this document before using or contributing to EDE 2.0 source code
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 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.

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.

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 removes a lot 
of its limitations and you can find it on 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 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 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

3. compile and install efltk; './configure --disable-mysql --disable-unixODBC && make && make install'
   will do the job

4. then go in ede2 directory and run './autogen.sh'

5. after that, goes './configure --enable-debug'

6. jam

7. jam install

Important stuff that isn't updated (requires efltk)
---------------------------------------------------

- edewm
- eworkpanel

We are in the process of rewriting these modules from scratch so older versions
will be provided

- efinder
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.

- 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
Simple and lightweight file manager. Currently it's fully functional, but we 
plan some more features.

- eimage
Small image viewer. Likewise, functional but a few features will be added.

- ede-calc
Scientific calculator.

TODO: to be filled

Contributors wanted
-------------------

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" or "grep FIXME . -R"). 
EDE coding standards and EDE HIG documents are being prepared.
