[SOLVED] E17 - "Incorrect Root Filename" when trying to use edje_decc

Question

Hi,
I decided to give E17 another try (on Arch this time, last time was on Bodhi) as a second DE.  I wanted to try creating my own theme this time now that I have some more experience with editing configs from using Arch but I am not able to get the "edje_decc" command? to work.  When I run it I get the following error about a "incorrect root filename":
ERR<10767>:edje_decc edje_decc.c:136 decomp() ERROR: Invalid root filename: '00 '
I found this Arch Topic about it but it is from 2008 and doesn't seem to come to any conclusion as to what the problem was, just that downgrading fixed it.
I also found the following line of code that relates to it but I don't know what it means, maybe it will help someone else understand:
if (!srcfiles->list->data || !root_filename_is_sane())
printf("ERROR: Invalid root filename: '%s'\n", (char *) srcfiles->list->data);
eet_close(ef);
return 0;
Edit: The full code where I pull the above from is located at This Page , if anyone wants to help by looking further into it.
Anyone got an idea how to fix this or of another way to extract the E17 theme files?

Answer 1

I'm not really sure if I did anything to fix the error or not.  I think I must have just chose themes that did not work when I got the error above.  I ended up trying to install using the easye17 script, then the Arche17, then straight from Enlightenment SVN but none worked on my computer.  Now I'm back on the standard e17-svn package from the Community repo and edje_decc just worked.
