Common Desktop Environment

The goal is to quickly get CDE up and running on a target system.

Build Script

This script is designed to create a formal package for CDE - Common Desktop Environment for the host system.

• No root or sudo access is required to build the packages

Before running the host system needs the requirement packages and libraries as detailed at CDE Wiki.

• Solaris/OpenIndiana users will need a new motif.

The package.sh script takes a single parameter to checkout a specific tag, without arguments it will build the current master branch.

Eg

$ ./package.sh 2.5.2

The steps it takes are:

1. confirm the locale contains de_DE, es_ES, fr_FR, and it_IT.
2. clones the repository and checks out the tag if required
3. applies a patch from patches if one matches.
4. builds the project
5. extracts the file sets and validates what is missing
6. builds the final target image
7. calls the appropriate packager from os.

The result should be a versioned package with referenced dependencies appropriate for the host system.

Running

The script at dtlogin-service is designed to add the final dependencies and a start up script for Linux, for example with

# systemctl enable dtlogin
# systemctl set-default graphical.target

Tested with i386, amd64, arm32, arm64, riscv64 with Linux (Debian/Ubuntu/Centos/Fedora/openSUSE), FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.
