[E-devel] bug in e17[ built for debian ]

[David S. <ds...@gm...>]

Hi,
I'm testing e17 currently built from cvs as debian packages for woody.
E comes up but not with its own desktop, it looks like a screwed up
last session from my e16, menues don't work either and when i select
an area it looks sort of ugly too.

I could get it to work when i mixed the my cvs built packages with some earlier
cvs built from debian for woody, had to install e17, ebits and ecore  because
of the dependencies so i suppose the bug is somewhere in one of them.

What i get back from startx looks like:

monitor id for  = -1

Got from STDERR on a right click:

(II) ATI(0): Shutting down Xvideo subsystems
Which doesn't say anything why.

Since yesterday the window manager itself doesn't build any longer either
because of a linking problem:

view.o: In function `e_view_handle_fs':
/home/mojo/building/e17/e17/apps/e/src/view.c:2079: undefined reference to `efsd_reply_data'
/home/mojo/building/e17/e17/apps/e/src/view.c:2104: undefined reference to `efsd_reply_data'

But this doesn't really worry me, it's easily fixed.

Well i don't really know if it makes a difference, but the debian build
scripts strips the binary, so this means that hmm some debugging info
is lost ? Couldn't find no debugging option for configure.

I wrote a script that builds the core enlightenment packages in a certain
order and installs them, it's quick'n dirty hack but it works just fine
and safes time, if anyone is interested just mail me.

It sure isn't a lot of good debugging info, i am sorry for that but i wouldn't
know how to get some more detailed info currently.

Glibc is 2.2.4, X 4.1.0, gcc 2.95.4, ... would have to compile a list of other
dependencies, don't know what makes sense though.

Thanks a lot for your work btw, i have been using enlightenment for 2 years
now and it sure rocks :).
