To cut it short, everything seems to work fine with a glitch here and there (rage and ephoto),
including the sound mixer that still refuses to show anything, even if it's set to use alsa backend.
I'm aware that Rayan's build scrip doesn't include pulseaudio (and I don't need it)
but obviously something has changed since v. 0.22.3.
I found the solution to avoid using pulseaudio system wide and I'll try to build
Sbo packages with this settings.

Okay, sounds good. You should be able to build EFL 1.22.3, Enlightenment 0.22.4 and Terminology 1.5.0 using the scripts on SBo. I just noticed that I have disabled PulseAudio in /etc/asound.conf:
Code:
# ALSA system-wide config file
# By default, redirect to PulseAudio:
#pcm.default pulse
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
# If defaults.namehint.showall is set to off in alsa.conf, then this is
# necessary to make this pcm show up in the list returned by
# snd_device_name_hint or aplay -L
hint.description "Default Audio Device"
}
#ctl.default pulse
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "softvol"
}
pcm.softvol {
type softvol
slave {
pcm "dmix"
}
control {
name "Pre-Amp"
card 0
}
min_dB -5.0
max_dB 20.0
resolution 6
}

Aside from the fact that building packages took much longer,
I noticed a flood of error messages by libtool ranting about simlinks
and similar stuff.
I managed to open vlc and deadbeef to check video/sound, but that's all
that happened before the crash.

I'm getting these 2 errors (see attached thumbnails):
1. Bluetooth rfkill run Error...
2. Efreetd cannot be connected to...
It's also taking forever to load after startx...
and... @mats_b_tegner enlighten-me.sh fails in my system due to the absence of vlc, which appears to be a requirement for rage. I just used his SlackBuilds (for meson, etc) to compile and package efl, python-efel, terminology and enlightenment in the correct order. I don't need rage cause I use audacious and SMPlayer instead.

Remove the following lines in the efl.SlackBuild to remove the requirements for VLC and xine:
I don't know how to fix that Bluetooth error yet. I have the same efreetd error on every E23 startup. The only workaround, for now, is to restart enlightenment or downgrade to E22.4

If these bluetooth errors are on 14.2, that is to be expected since the version for 14.2 is tied to pulseaudio. The easiest fix is to try it on Current. I recommend a separate partition for a clean Current install rather than jumping into a system upgrade if you'd like to check this out. I applied the Current Pure-Alsa script to 14.2 and it works but only after a nearly week of tweaking.
Fixes:
fix a bunch of breaks that having a blind file unload has brought
fix xpm loader to be threadable - fixes so much stuff…
efl: check file's mtime in efl.file::file_set to determine if file is the same
Edit:
EFL 1.22.5 seems to build fine under -current, Rebuilding E23, Ephoto, Rage and Terminology against EFL 1.22.5 as I write this. I have updated efl.info to 1.22.5 on my GitHub repository.

This is a bugfix and stability release for Enlightenment 0.23.
* Fixed mixer notifications when volume didn't actually change
* Fixed build with newest EFL which does not still implicitly include libuuid CFLAGS in efl-wl CFLAGS
* Fixed move/resize triggered by key bindings to work again
* Fixed NULL access on move begin that crashed.
E23.1 seems to compile fine under Slackware-current with EFL 1.22.5 but I still get the Efreetd error dialog on startup. I have updated the files on my GitHub repository.

While we hoped we would have the final release at this point we still have issues to sort out before we can declare our current work a stable release. In the meantime, I am releasing another beta here to allow people testing which needs tarballs.
Fixes:
ecore/signal: also use nonblock for writing side of signal pipe
ector engine: +null checking.

After almost 6 months of development we are releasing version 1.23 of
the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries, featuring over 2100 patches from
48 developers around the world. Thanks a lot for your contributions!
== What's New ==
Again, the primary focus of this release has been stabilizing the EO
library as well as extending the set of unified API which is based on it.
From this release onwards we also switched to meson as our only build
system (RIP Autotools, you served us well for a long time). The 2110
commits contain more changes to possibly list here, but you will find
improved DRM support, a new widget for controlling vector animations, a
first step towards MVVM support, general bug fixes and more.
== Requirements ==
EFL requires a C and C++ compiler by default. C++ exists mostly to interface
to C++ libraries like Bullet and our C++ bindings.
Required by default:
* bullet
* libpng
* libjpeg
* gstreamer (1.x, 0.10 support optional. Ensure all codecs you want are installed.)
* zlib
* luajit (lua 5.1 or 5.2 support optional)
* libtiff
* openssl
* curl
* dbus
* libc
* fontconfig
* freetype2
* fribidi
* libpulse
* libsndfile
* libx11
* libxau
* libxcomposite
* libxdamage
* libxdmcp
* libxext
* libxfixes
* libxinerama
* libxrandr
* libxrender
* libxss
* libxtst
* libxcursor
* libxp
* libxi (2.2 or newer)
* opengl(mesa etc.) (opengl/glx/full or opengl-es2/egl. full opengl only on osx - must be explicitly specified to be full to have support)
* giflib
* util-linux (limbount + libblkid)
* systemd / libudev
* poppler / poppler-cpp
* libraw
* libspectre
* librsvg
* openmp (clang needs libomp, while gcc uses libgomp)
You might want webp support so disable fewer loaders and remove webp
from the disablers with: -Devas-loaders-disabler=json
== Wayland support ==
You may also want Wayland support when on Linux. This enables support
for EFL to target Wayland support for client applications. To do this
supply: -Dwl=true
== Framebuffer support ==
This requires Linux frame-buffer support, headers, etc. This supports
basic frame-buffers like /dev/fb as well as input via /dev/input for
keyboards and mice in a basic way. Enable this with: -Dfb=true
For more modern framebuffer support you may want drm/kms rendering
support so enable this. This is what you also want for wayland
compositor support in enlightenment as it will want to be able to
render to a modern framebuffer target with atomic buffer swapping. To
do this provide: -Ddrm=true
== Prefix ==
You may want to change the install prefix for EFL with:
--prefix=/path/to/prefix
The default prefix if not given is "/usr/local". Many people like to
use prefixes like /opt/e or /opt/efl or /home/USERNAME/software etc.
== Compiler flags ==
You can affect compilation optimization, debugging and other factors
by setting your CFLAGS environment variable (and CXXFLAGS). Be aware
that to ensure ABI stability you should use the exact same CFLAGS /
CXXFLAGS for all the build of EFL and any applications/libraries that
depend on them.
There are many other configure options that can be used, but in
general, it is not a good idea to go enabling or disabling things
unless you wish to break things. The defaults are well tested, with
the above-recommended options also being well tested. Go much further
and your mileage may vary wildly. Disabling features is a good way of
breaking EFL functionality, so it is not recommended to mess with
these without understanding the implications. The defaults
have been carefully considered to provide full functionality so users
will not be missing anything.
== Cryptography ==
EFL officially offers OpenSSL or gnutls as cryptography backends. By
default, it uses "openssl" to do signature, cipher and related. Alternatively
one can use "gnutls" (some distros are strict about licenses and want gnutls
instead of openssl) You can switch to gnutls with -Dcrypto=gnutls
I will try to rewrite the build script and compile EFL 1.23.0 this weekend.
