Enlightenment DR17 on OpenSolaris :)

Happy New Year everybody :)

So, was I able to get e17 built and installed?



I finally made some time to see whether i could get enlightenment dr17 to run on my OpenSolaris laptop.
after tinkering with my environment settings i retrieved the .022 snapshot files from, and as described at enlightenment.freedesktop.org.
building all the mentioned modules went fine.
i setup the appropriate config files in /etc/dt/config (these are not existent by default, you need to create them yourself) and restarted dtlogin (svcadm refresh dtlogin will do the trick for you).
w00t! :) a very minimalistic e17 was launched.
then i noticed that the most simple actions like closing an xterm or alt-tabbing to the next app would cause e17 to segfault almost all the time.
i then remembered the explanation to this problem reading on Ben Rockwood's blog .
so i checked out ecore from CVS and build and installed it.
now e17 no longer segfaults on me i can get more and more e17 CVS modules build and installed to dress this puppy up a little bit more.

Will you put up some packages somewhere? Blastwave maybe?

That e17 installation has been lost a long time ago.
I just liveupgraded to snv_54 and want to give installing e17 another shot.
But my experience with building Solaris svr5 packages is rather limited.
