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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
