How to compile using Ecore?

pkgconfig (.pc) files are installed for every ecore module. Thus, to compile using any of them, you can use something like the following:

gcc *.c $(pkg-config ecore ecore-$x ecore-$y [...] --cflags --libs)

How is it installed?

Suggested configure options for ecore for a Linux desktop X display with OpenGL and Software support, communication (networking) and IPC (inter process communication):

./configure \
    --enable-ecore-con \
    --enable-ecore-ipc \
    --enable-ecore-file \
    --enable-ecore-input \
    --enable-ecore-input-evas \
    --enable-ecore-x \
    --enable-ecore-evas \
    --enable-ecore-evas-software-buffer \
    --enable-ecore-evas-software-x11 \
