COMPILING AND INSTALLING

For sample configuration options please look in the ./confs/ directory
for scripts that pass in commonly used options.
See the INSTALL file: https://git.enlightenment.org/core/efl.git/tree/INSTALL

Wayland support:
### Wayland support
You may also want wayland support when on Linux. This enables support
for EFL to trget wayland support for client applications. To do this
supply:
``` sh
-Dwl=true
```
-Dwl=true
Framebuffer support:
This requires linux frame-buffer support, headers etc. This supports
basic frame-buffers like /dev/fb as well as input via /dev/input for
keyboards and mice in a basic way. Enable this with:
-Dfb=true
### Framebuffer support
For more modern framebuffer support you may want drm/kms rendering
support so enable this. This is what you also want for wayland
compositor support in enlightenment as it will want to be able to
render to a moder framebuffer tarbet with atomic buffer swapping. To
do this provide:
``` sh
-Ddrm=true
```
-Ddrm=true
Legacy fbcon support also exist6s, but yuou probably no longer want to
use this as it is not maintained anymore. This supports basic frame-buffers
like /dev/fb as well as input via /dev/input for keyboards and mice in a
basic way. Enable this with:
``` sh
-Dfb=true
```
You may want to change the install prefix for EFL with:
--prefix=/path/to/prefix
``` sh
--prefix=/path/to/prefix
```
The default prefix if not given is "/usr/local". Many people like to
use prefixes like /opt/e or /opt/efl or /home/USERNAME/software etc.

will not be missing anything.
CRYPTOGRAPHY
------------
### Cryptography
EFL officially offers openssl or gnutls as cryptography backends. By
default it uses "openssl" to do signature, cipher and related. Alternatively
one can use "gnutls" (some distros are strict about licenses and want gnutls
instead of openssl) You can switch to gnutls with:
``` sh
-Dcrypto=gnutls
```

## Compiling and Installing
Meson is the build system used for this project. For more information
please see [mesonbuild.com](https://mesonbuild.com)
You will need normal build tooling installed such as a compiler (gcc
or clang for example), pkg-config, ninja, any relevant package-dev or
package-devel packages if your distribution splits out development
headers (e.g. libc6-dev) etc.
Depending on where dependencies (like efl) are installed, you might have to
set your `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable like:
```sh
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
```
Also note that some distributions like to add extra arch directories
to your library locations so you might have to have more like:
```sh
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig
```
You will need to enusre that the destination library directory (e.g.
`/usr/local/lib` is in your /etc/ld.so.conf or /etc/ld.so.conf.d/
files and after insgtaling anything that installes libraries you
re-run `ldconfig`. Please see relevant documentation on ldconfig and
ld.so.conf for your distribution.
You might also want to add the destination bin dir to your environment
variable PATH (see documentation on your shell PATH variable) such as:
```sh
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
```
Normal compilation in /usr/local:
```sh
meson . build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install
```
For meson build generic options:
```sh
meson --help
```
For a list of project specific options supported:
```sh
cat meson_options.txt
```
To set 1 or more project specific options:
```sh
meson --prefix=/path/to -Doption=value [-Dother=value2] [...] . build
```
To display current configuration:
```sh
meson configure build
```
The above will only work after at least the following is done:
```sh
meson . build
```
### Quick build help
How clean out the build and config and start fresh:
```sh
rm -rf build
```
How to make a dist tarball and check its build:
(must do it from git tree clone and commit all changes to git first)
```sh

```
How to change prefix:
```sh
