About:
Eterm is a vt102 terminal emulator intended as a replacement for xterm. It is designed with a Freedom of Choice philosophy, leaving as much power, flexibility, and freedom as possible in the hands of the user. It is designed to look good and work well, but takes a feature-rich approach rather than one of minimalism. Current features include color support, background images (all Imlib-supported formats), theme support, and pseudo-transparency.

[»] Problem compiling
by rsf - Jan 14th 2002 02:51:37

Ok, some brief history: This is being installed on an
OpenBSD-3.0-current system. After installing the Imlib
and libast libraries I had to move them from
/usr/local/lib to /usr/lib (even after re-running ldconfig
specifying directories) to get them to work. Strange.

Now I can successfully run configure, however after
running make it stops with this:

creating libEterm.la
(cd .libs && rm -f libEterm.la && ln -s ../libEterm.la
libEterm.la)
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -L/usr/local/lib
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -o Eterm -rpath
/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/Eterm main.o libEterm.la -last
-lImlib2 -lttf -lSM -lICE -lXmu -lXext -lX11 -lutil -lm
gcc -g -O2 -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -o .libs/Eterm
main.o -L.libs -lEterm -last -lImlib2 -lttf -lSM -lICE -lXmu
-lXext -lX11 -lutil -lm -last -lImlib2 -lttf -lSM -lICE -lXmu
-lXext -lX11 -lutil -lm -R/usr/local/lib
-R/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/Eterm
main.c:31: Undefined symbol `_eterm_bootstrap'

Any ideas??

[»] Can't compile correctly
by Casey McGinty - Nov 3rd 2001 00:00:20

After initially trying to compile Eterm I recevied numerous messages about missing libraries. I installed all of the missing enlightenment libs including Imlib2. Eterm compiles but still complains that Imlib2 is missing. Is there a trick to get Imlib2 working with Eterm ? The config message from Eterm is:

configure: warning: *** Pixmap support has been disabled because Imlib2 was not found ***
configure: warning: *** or could not be linked. Eterm should still work
configure: warning: *** not be very happy. Check config.log for more detailed ***
configure: warning: *** information on why my attempt to link with Imlib2 failed. ***

Run ldconfig, remove config.cache, and try again.

[»] Eterm compiled ok, but no pixmap loaded
by Vicchius - Apr 24th 2003 14:46:40

Ok, I managed to compile it correctly. I start Enlightenment (0.16.5), and then open Eterm: no background image is displayed. Even forcing in the pixmap menu a scaled or tiled image, the background is black. I checked under usr/local/share/Eterm/pix but everything (config. file, images...) seems ok. Configure do not report strange messages (initially Imlib2 was missing, but now I've built it and configure does not complain any more). I'm looking on the net, but I can't find anyone who is reporting the same problem... what could be wrong?

Run Eterm with the debug option and check the log. Chances are its failing to to load the jpgs. If so this could be down to imlib2 and/or libast not building correctly. Or Imlib2 is missing the loaders. If you installed Imlib2 with rpm then you need the seperate Imlib2-loaders rpm. If you built from src check the Imlib2 and libast configure scripts to make sure they found the jpeg librarys. good luck.
