Dear all,

I would like to share my experience with building CDE on FreeBSD 10. 
After trying a few things I finally figured out what must be done to 
successfully compile CDE on FreeBSD 10.

1. Prepare the source tree as explained in the Wiki

2. Change the configuration files like described in the forum:

    Add the following entry to config/cf/bsdLib.tmpl

    #ifndef SharedDtHelpReqs
    # define SharedDtHelpReqs -liconv
    # endif

    AND

    add the and entry to config/cf/FreeBSD.cf:

    ICONVSYSLIB = -liconv

    I could only build CDE successfully if I change both configuration
    files as described.

3. Install gcc47 from ports (pkg install gcc)

4. Rename the links /usr/bin like this:

    mv cc cc-clang
    mv cpp cpp-clang

5. Create links to gcc in /usr/bin like this:

    ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc47 gcc
    ln -s /usr/local/bin/cpp47 cpp

    Without these links I was unable to build CDE successfully.

6. Finally do make World to build and have fun with CDE on FreeBSD!

N.B. dtlogin cannot be started vom /etc/ttys like xdm. It must be 
started through an rc-script, similar to the other daemons.
