Hi All
Below is a proposed README-2.2.0-INSTALL file toincluded with the source. It's
pretty much a straight copy of the wiki.
------------------
Before you start, check and see if your platform is supported. The most update
list can be found on the wiki:
http://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/SupportedPlatforms/
********************************************************************************************
CDE IS ALPHA QUALITY AND MAY NOT BUILD AND/OR WORK PROPERLY.
********************************************************************************************
Not building yet:
Dtinfo - A program for displaying the guide series of books.
Dtksh - A version of the ksh shell with additions for creating GUI applications.
Documentation - Pages required for dtinfo.
Builds but doesn't work completely:
Dtcreate - Used for creating new action icons for menus etc, fails to startup
with Tooltalk error - tt_ptype_declare (TT_ERR_PTYPE)
Dtmail - "Mailer has not been properly installed, and cannot run because the
execution group is incorrectly set."
Dtcm/rpc.cmsd - calendar manager. There are a variety of problems with this.
Install dependencies for Debian and Ubuntu:
git (for downloading from source repository)
build-essentials or build-essential
libxp-dev
libxt-dev
libxmu-dev
libxft-dev
libmotif or libmotif3 or libmotif4 (openmotif)
libmotif-dev (openmotif)
libx11-dev
libfreetype6-dev
tcl-dev
ksh (required for database to any script, and probably dtksh building)
m4 (required for nsgmls building)
ncompress (old style unix 'compress' needed when building help files)
xfonts-100dpi (for nicer looking fonts)
xfonts-100dpi-transcode or xfonts-100dpi-transcoded
rpcbind (or portmap) requires running in insecure mode (-i) see below
bison
xbitmaps
On Debian Squeeze:
byacc
Do not install:
Lesstif
imake (xutils-dev)
Generate additional locale support:
sudo locale-gen de_DE
sudo locale-gen es_ES
sudo locale-gen fr_FR
sudo locale-gen it_IT
Modify rpcbind to run in insecure mode:
On Ubuntu
Edit /etc/init/portmap.conf
On Debian
Edit /etc/init.d/rpcbind
Find the line "OPTIONS="-w" and replace with "OPTIONS="-w -i"
Restart the service or reboot the machine.
Link in X11 headers:
cd cdesktopenv-code/cde
mkdir -p imports/x11/include
cd imports/x11/include
ln -s /usr/include/X11
Build:
cd /path/to/cdesktopenv-code/cde
make World
The build will terminate with a successfully built message.
After you've built World, it should have compiled up the libraries and quite a
few of the apps.
To check look in /path/to/cdesktopenv-code/cde/exports/lib, there should be 10
different CDE libraries.
Test run some applications:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/cdesktopenv/cde/exports/lib
cd cdesktopenv-code/cde/programs/dtcalc
./dtcalc
Install:
The install actions should only need to be done once on install, or on
reinstall of later versions.
(Replace /path/to/ with the path to the location of your source tree.)
# Install CDE
cd cdesktopenv-code/cde/admin/IntegTools/dbTools
sudo ./installCDE -s /path/to/cdesktopenv-code/cde/
# Run the linux post install script (this does have a couple of errors reported)
cd cdesktopenv-code/cde/admin/IntegTools/post_install/linux
sudo ./configRun -e
# It seems this dir needs to be writable by every user of CDE
sudo chmod -R a+rwx /var/dt
# Directory required for calendar service
sudo mkdir -p /usr/spool/calendar
Running:
Switch to virtual terminal and log in as root
# kill off xserver. For example, if you are running lightdm:
service lightdm stop
# note, you do not need to run rpc.ttdbserver. If you *really* want to,
# then start it with /usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserver and confirm its running
# rpcinfo -p
You can log off root and into your regular user here
# add /usr/dt/bin to your PATH
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin
export LANG=C
# Start CDE
startx /usr/dt/bin/Xsession
This should boot into the CDE desktop
(You can change the export LANG=C to LANG="fr_FR.ISO8859-1",
LANG="de_DE.ISO8859-1", LANG="es_ES.ISO8859-1" or LANG="it_IT.ISO8859-1", for
non English languages.)
Running from dtlogin:
# kill off xserver. For example, if you are running lightdm:
service lightdm stop
# note, you do not need to run rpc.ttdbserver. If you *really* want to,
# then start it with /usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserver and confirm its running
# rpcinfo -p
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin
export LANG=C
cd /usr/dt/bin
./dtlogin
This should start the login screen.
(You can change the export LANG=C to LANG="fr_FR.ISO8859-1",
LANG="de_DE.ISO8859-1", LANG="es_ES.ISO8859-1" or LANG="it_IT.ISO8859-1", for
non English languages. Or choose a language from the dtlogin UI.)
Running from lightdm/gdm/mdm/kdm:
