+You will need the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL) and
+Elementary installed before you can build this.  Since I started
+experimenting with the new Evas_3D stuff, that means you will need the
+1.10 versions, which have not been released yet.  Beta tarballs can be
+found here -
+
+http://download.enlightenment.org/rel/libs/efl/efl-1.10.0-beta1.tar.bz2
+
+http://download.enlightenment.org/rel/libs/elementary/elementary-1.10.0-beta1.tar.bz2
+
+Or you can use git HEAD -
+
+git clone git://git.enlightenment.org/core/efl.git
+
+git clone git://git.enlightenment.org/core/elementary.git
+
+It should all work under X window managers other than Enlightenment,
+though this has not been tested.  The same applies to Linux distros
+other than Ubuntu 12.04, that's the only one that hes been tested by me. 
+This is all still experimental, but I intend to get it to work under Mac
+OS X and Windows as well.
+
+The left side of http://enlightenment.org/p.php?p=download&l=en explains
+the build order and requirements. Evas generic loaders will probably be
+needed, Emotion generic players likely wont be needed (yet), except as a
+requirement of Elementary.  Enlightenment and other apps are not
+needed.

+
+http://download.enlightenment.org/rel/libs/emotion_generic_players/emotion_generic_players-1.10.0-beta1.tar.bz2

+
+Once you have spent hours struggling with getting EFL and Elementary
+complied and installed, simply run build.lua from the top level
+directory here to build all of this SledjHamr stuff.  There's no
+installing going on here, it's still to early in experimental
+development, plus nothing does anything useful yet.
+
+In src/extantz/extantz.h, at the top, are a bunch of #defines you can
+turn on and off.  Try them out.
+
+Running test.sh from the top level will build it all, then run it all. 
+You should see a lot of logging style output and two windows.  Most of
+the logging style output is from the LSL script runner as it compiles
+then runs a copy of the MLP scripts.  The two windows are a small one
+with two buttons in it, and a bigger one with 3D stuff in it.  The big
+3D window has it's own internal windows, including that small one again. 
+The rest of the non logging style output is just testing things, which
+will include some ERROR messages, which is just testing several error
+conditions, so don't be alarmed.  You will see this non logging style
+output twice, since it comes from the little window, which is invoked
+twice, as a stand alone window, and as on internal window of the big 3D
+application.
+
+You really can't do anything useful with all of this yet.  Yes, I know
+the Irrlicht stuff flickers like crazy.
+
+Have lots of fun.
