Enlightenment 19 build script for Ubuntu/Debian
#!/bin/bash
# vi: ts=4:sw=4:et
#
# NINETEEN.SH
# This script allows you to install/update Enlightenment 19 git version on
# Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or Debian wheezy/sid, or remove E19 git from your system.

@tmartinx cython provided by debian sid (which is what I use) (23.x) is blacklisted by python-efl.
If you are not on wily/vivid or debian sid, install cython manually first, and check to make sure it is not >22.x

For those in my situation of cython-23, I do this:

wget http://cython.org/release/Cython-0.22.1.zip
unzip Cython-0.22.1.zip
cd Cython-0.22.1
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

Dude God bless you a lot
Check this out, the reason I'm opting in using Enlightenment is because I want to build a lightweight system using Debian

Now I just started using Debian Jessie LXDE like a month ago, I first started with Ubuntu later Linux Cinammon, Mate later I found out of lightweight benchmarks I found out of LXDE then Debian LXDE.

And I have learned a lot ever since.

Now I learned that Enlightenment is better than LXDE and I want to try it out and THE ONLY GOOD RESOURCE TO INSTALL IT (that I have found so far) is you here. [SO I THANK YOU A LOT IN DOING THIS]

Now I did upgrade to SID and I did get the cython-23 error message after I executed this command.

Should I redo all the install again after doing the fix you posted?

And after that, what do I do to start running enlightenment to replace my current LXDE Desktop environment?

[DUDE THANKS A LOT YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!]

GOD LOVES YOU A LOT =-) =-) =-)

Now I did upgrade to SID and I did get the cython-23 error message after I executed this command.

You can re-run the nineteen.sh script and choose option 3.
That will uninstall the current enlightenment install.
Uninstall cython: sudo apt-get remove --purge cython
Run the commands in the comment prior to yours...
Then run the nineteen.sh script and choose option 1.

And after that, what do I do to start running enlightenment to replace my current LXDE Desktop environment?

I've been testing entrance, but I find it kind of buggy. So I just manually add a session for enlightenment for lightdm:

edit: /usr/share/xsessions/enlightenment.desktop

user-session=enlightenment

Then restart lightdm:
sudo systemctl restart lightdm

As a side note, I'm currently making a e19 build script to build with wayland instead of xorg-x11.
Keep an eye out here for updates on that.

@bhundven

Ok so I reinstalled it all like you told me but I tried editing my lightdm and restarting it but I still have LXDE as my Desktop Environment.

@DiosyJanjo on the login window, there is a little wrench (on my version anyways) in the upper right. You click that to switch your session. Then login like normal.

@bhundven

Yep worked prefectly
Dude if this would've been Mortal Kombat you'd have Flawless Victory
This worked like charm!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

It looks great. In the first instance it does look more "graphically power punched" than LXDE

I really hope that its true what I heard that its better in benchmarks since I'm opting for a faster computer rather than a better looking one

FOR ANYBODY LOOKING FOR A VERY NICE AND BETTER ALTERNATIVE THAN LXDE FOR A FASTER LIGHTWEIGHT DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT, THIS IS IT

Wow, like I'm stunned this is a better and faster option than LXDE

I just opened video and it is faster than LXDE

And it gives you the option for CPU SPEED to always be at max speed

By far its true what I've heard

I really appreciate what you have done here man, truly it does give new life to old computers like mine =-) =-) =-)
If your next build in Wayland is better than this I'll be surely following it, also =-) =-) =-)

Also, the wayland support in e19 is still very experimental. So, I wouldn't expect it to be a daily driver until it's marked stable. (most of what you're currently downloading and building is alpha/beta quality)

@bhundven
Still, this looks and feels great its not clunky it hasn't given me any problem from what I had, its faster.

What I'm going to do right now is to slim my Debian down to the resources I only need.

Do you have any idea if this I can install from a net install version of Debian/Sid?

The reason is to avoid all the extra things it installs when I have to install a basic version of whatever Desktop Environment

If so what would be the regular components I'd need in order to do so like aptitude, nano to edit the repositories etc.

I know this is something that I have to investigate in how to do (because its mostly all in the internet) but if you know how and don't bother in telling me how I'd appreciate it.

Regardless of anything, you've done a great job and for what I know e19 is almost at e20 so this version is in the "very stable" part of things

Ok, I've updated this script quite a bit today.
I've also added nineteen-wayland.sh here: https://gist.github.com/bhundven/04a77502907ab2c03ea9

EDIT: It seems there is bug which would only show yourself if you disabled NLS during compilation, it'd fail saying ./autogen.sh is not found.
GEN=${GEN} --disable-nls should look like GEN=${GEN}" --disable-nls"

As of writing this, that site is down. I haven't tried to build this in a while...
