Personally, i conpiled imlib and evas and all that from scratch. If you go to enlightenment.org you can find out lots of information on how to build eterm and Enlightenment's other applications from scratch. just remember. if A depends on b which depends on C and D, which to compile first. I will say that compiling imlib is not an easy compile (read the directions carefully) so it may not be a choice for those are not willing to carefully read the directions carefully.
