Edje

Is a configuration-file format which origins of Enlightenment 17. It is used by Openmoko and Illume for configuring a lot of the look of Openmoko and its applications. It allows you, for example, to change the background image but is much more powerful then that.

Edje uses *.edj Files as binary-configuration files and *.edc as the source of such an *.edj file.

For compiling an *.edc file to an *.edj file you need: edje_cc For decompiling an *.edj file to an *.edc file you need: edje_decc (you might want to do this to learn about how such a file has to look like)

Installation

Installation on Freerunner

To compile/decompile Edje files directly at your freerunner, you first need to install several packages. You need at least edje-utils which provides the compiler and decompiler tools. Depending on the contents of the theme, you need additional modules which are provided by libevas-* packages. For example, to be able to load and save JPG files, you need both the libevas-loader-jpeg and libevas-saver-jpg packages.

Issuing the following command should install needed files for the most cases:

opkg install edje-utils libevas-loader-jpeg libevas-loader-png libevas-loader-svg libevas-saver-jpeg libevas-saver-png

Installation on Ubuntu

You can install edje_cc and edje_decc for Ubuntu by adding this source to your /etc/apt/sources.lst:

deb http://e17.dunnewind.net/ubuntu hardy e17

or

deb http://e17.dunnewind.net/ubuntu gutsy e17

or

deb http://e17.dunnewind.net/ubuntu feisty e17

After that you can install the needed tools with:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libedje-bin
