Enlightenment E-17 On Gentoo The Easy Way

I'm an extremely heavy Linux user and I've used Enlightenment for quite some time, I recently downloaded the E-17 svn trunk and did a full build by hand. After spending the better part of a day building everything from hand, figuring out the correct order, fixing dependencies, etc. I finally got the new Enlightenment desktop up and running. It is absolutely beautiful, they're doing a great job. Along those same lines, I've recently found a script that makes installing E-17 a snap. Check out the script easy_e17.sh

This script makes short change of what took me the better part of the day and allows you to stay up to date with the latest fixes. Great work by morlenxus. The script is very easy to use, just download and execute:


chmod a+x easy_e17.sh
./easy_e17.sh -i


Then sit back and relax while your new desktop is downloaded, configured and built. The final binaries are installed at /opt/e17, so after compilation make sure you set you .xinitrc to "exec /opt/e17/bin/enlightenment_start"
