Remove EFL, since it's been released now.

43 | Ecore is a clean and tiny event loop library with many modules to do | ||
44 | lots of convenient things for a programmer, to save time and effort. | ||
45 | |||
46 | It's small and lean, designed to work on embedded systems all the way | ||
47 | to large and powerful multi-cpu workstations. It serialises all system | ||
48 | signals, events etc. into a single event queue, that is easily | ||
49 | processed without needing to worry about concurrency. A properly | ||
50 | written, event-driven program using this kind of programming doesn't | ||
51 | need threads, nor has to worry about concurrency. It turns a program | ||
52 | into a state machine, and makes it very robust and easy to follow. | ||
53 | |||
54 | Ecore gives you other handy primitives, such as timers to tick over | ||
55 | for you and call specified functions at particular times so the | ||
56 | programmer can use this to do things, like animate, or time out on | ||
57 | connections or tasks that take too long etc. | ||
58 | |||
59 | Idle handlers are provided too, as well as calls on entering an idle | ||
60 | state (often a very good time to update the state of the program). All | ||
61 | events that enter the system are passed to specific callback functions | ||
62 | that the program sets up to handle those events. Handling them is | ||
63 | simple and other Ecore modules produce more events on the queue, | ||
64 | coming from other sources such as file descriptors etc. | ||
65 | |||
66 | Ecore also help you work in a multi threaded environment and setup a | ||
67 | thread pool that help you use the EFL on multi-cpu system. It help split | ||
68 | the part that can't be called outside of the ecore main loop from the | ||
69 | computation heavy function that could run on another CPU. Be aware that | ||
70 | Evas and most of Ecore API is not thread safe and should only be called | ||
71 | in the main loop. Eina and Eet could be used, if done carefully, in any | ||
72 | heavy function on another cpu. | ||
73 | |||
74 | Ecore also lets you have functions called when file descriptors become | ||
75 | active for reading or writing, allowing for streamlined, non-blocking | ||
76 | IO. | ||
77 | |||
78 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
79 | COMPILING AND INSTALLING: | ||
80 | |||
81 | ./configure | ||
82 | make | ||
83 | (as root unless you are installing in your users directories): | ||
84 | make install | ||
85 | |||
86 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
87 | NOTE: | ||
88 | |||
89 | You can experience main loop lock (and more likely see UI lock) if libcurl | ||
90 | doesn't use an asynchronous dns resolver. Since Curl 7.21.0, you can use the | ||
91 | native dns resolver asynchronously by turning --enable-threaded-resolver | ||
92 | on during configure time. For older version, C-Ares is the way to solve that | ||
93 | issue (see: http://c-ares.haxx.se/ ). | ||
