Elementary is a basic widget set library that is easy to use and is based on
|
||||
EFL. It provides the basic building blocks for creating applications and user
|
||||
interfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
For more details about elementary widgets and how to use them kindly refer to
|
||||
the following link.

COMPILING AND INSTALLING:
|
||||
|
||||
COMPONENTS
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
**Library:**
|
||||
|
||||
//LGPL v2 license//
|
||||
|
||||
The library you will find in src/lib/ and modules it loads as demos or
|
||||
actual implementations in src/modules/. The library depends on at
|
||||
least on default theme that is built in data/themes/ and some default
|
||||
config installed from config/.
|
||||
|
||||
**Theme:**
|
||||
|
||||
The default theme is large and includes data for every widget and then
|
||||
some. The Theme includes some images that are creative-commons
|
||||
licensed (see COPYING.images) and is otherwise considered LGPL as well
|
||||
as the library.
|
||||
|
||||
**Test App:**
|
||||
|
||||
There is a full test app in src/bin/ and you will find its main source
|
||||
as test.c with every test split into test_*.c files. This should serve
|
||||
as a general tester for Elementary as well as example code on writing
|
||||
UIs with Elementary. Run this app (once installed) with elementary_test.
|
||||
|
||||
**Configuration App:**
|
||||
|
||||
A simple rough configuration tool is provided called
|
||||
elementary_config. This tool allows you to play with some basic
|
||||
configuration of elementary and it saves your config in your home
|
||||
directory in ~/.elementary as well as applying it to all Elementary
|
||||
using applications. Themes are normally looked for in
|
||||
~/.elementary/themes and the system elementary data dir
|
||||
(PREFIX/share/elementary/themes/).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
COMPILING AND INSTALLING
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
./configure
|
||||
make
|
||||
(do this as root unless you are installing in your users directories):
|
||||
make install
|
||||
sudo make install
|
||||
|
||||
If you have doxygen, then you csan build documentation with:
|
||||
|
||||
make doc
|
||||
|
||||
You will find documentation in the doc/ directory.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
COMPILER FLAGS
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
You likely don't need static libraries most of the time so you can
|
||||
disable them with:
|
||||
|
||||
--disable-static
|
||||
|
||||
You may want to change the install prefix for EFL with:
|
||||
|
||||
--prefix=/path/to/prefix
|
||||
|
||||
There are also examples in src/examples/ as well. To compile examples
|
||||
use this option to configure:
|
||||
|
||||
--enable-build-examples
|
||||
|
||||
Also you may wish to install the examples, then use:
|
||||
|
||||
--enable-install-examples
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
REQUIREMENTS
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Elementary requires EFL to be installed and available first.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIGURATION
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration for a user is normally stored in ~/.elementary/config,
|
||||
but if this does not exist, the system configuration in
|
||||
PREFIX/share/elementary/config is used instead. Overriding either of
|
||||
these is per-screen or per-virtual-desktop configuration that may be
|
||||
stored on the root window as a property in X11 or via appropriate
|
||||
other protocols depending on display system.
|
||||
|
||||
By default the profile.cfg file contains a config key that indicates
|
||||
the name of the profile to use. See config/Makefile.am as to how to
|
||||
generate this. The directories each contain per-profile configuration.
|
||||
The cfg files are files generated by Eet and can be generated from
|
||||
text. See the above Makefile.am
