Is this a case of a build time option?
Because I don't use VLC and I can build e24 just fine without it.
I used to build EFL 1.22.x with VLC and Xine support. I forgot to remove vlc in the efl.info file when updating my SlackBuild scripts to EFL 1.24.x. Sorry about the mess.

OK I deleted "vlc" from efi.info and commented out --enable-vlc in the slackbuild script and it got much further but I still get an odd error. Please forgive the somewhat long copy here but I do want to get Enlightenment working and I'd rather give too much than too little and this seemed a good summary provided by the script. It looks nearly complete, just a hiccup at the package build, I think.

This is because you're probably missing a backslash with the configure option above it (or you have a blank line). Make sure all configure options end in "" except for the last one.
But as Mats mentioned, it seems you're using an outdated repo. The new one has no requirements for vlc.
OK mats_b_tegner I'm going to start over and install ultimately on a basically dedicated Slackware system on it's own partition to follow the suggestion to not have an other WM/DEs installed. The version I downloaded that you see the output of above I got from
I don't yet have PAM so that's also why I will used a dedicated partition.
EDIT: I left in the error to explain how I messed up, which is now from printing it out, obvious, but although your link pointed to your git, I copied the one in the Readme.md. Doh!

Code:
--build=$ARCH-slackware-linux
Should not be used for e24 since they switched over to meson. I think that this is because the script was still calling e22 (efl 1.22.5) at the time.

Must be the antihistamine
I have now uploaded my updated SlackBuild-scripts to the original repository as well. -current is required from now on.
I don't run Wayland myself so I haven't tested Wayland support.
Edit:
I have now added Wayland support in the build scripts for EFL and Enlightenment on the slackENLIGHTENMENT GitHub repository.

I've been using KDE so long now it does take some getting used to but it does actually take that into consideration giving unobtrusive hints. When selecting options I need to discover how to enable typing in, instead of scrolling through everything, but in just a short time it felt very comfortable. Thanks again and proper job.
We are happy to release the third stable update for our 1.24.x series.
Fixes:
* evas - csd and wl csd - fix alpha zeroing to avoid framespace junk
* evas - genetic update regions smart merge - merge v adjacent regions
* efreet - handle runtime relocation right with default XDG_DATA_DIRS
* edje: fix animation memory leak.
* canvas vg: fix dangling vector containers.
* evas vg: clean up dangling instances
* canvas vg: fix vector file data memory leak.
* efl gfx_path: fix memory leak.
* efl_ui_image: fixed elm_image_preload_disabled_set api is not working when it is called before file set
Since there is a lot of development going on with elogind at the moment, I gave it a try. I have removed ConsoleKit2, installed elogind, upgraded dbus and polkit from alienBOBs ktown repository and edited the xinit script like this (thanks to Eric for the hint):
Code:
...
# Start the window manager:
if [ -z "$DESKTOP_SESSION" -a -x /usr/bin/ck-launch-session ]; then
exec ck-launch-session enlightenment_start
else
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session enlightenment_start
fi
Everything worked as expected, besides that the Login/Reboot/Suspend/Hibernate within the menu are grayed out. This is maybe related to loginctl, as I guess the latter will be used if ck is not present. I am trying to figure out what is necessary in order to let e use loginctl instead of ck without SystemD being actually present.

Reason: closed code block
Just a short update. XDM has to be recompiled in order to pick up elogind. Robby provides an updated package (as well as elogind, dbus and polkit) which solves the issue:
loginctl works fine afterwards (as it did before when you use startx or sddm form ktown) and the menu entries for power actions are displayed. So we are ready for the FUTURE
