    This now completes the set.

    Gentoo CDE

    The two ebuilds required are ksh and cdesktopenv

    Both offered as is, in beta.

    The Gentoo builds have been extended to include one using the new automake, and another using the legacy imake. Unfortunately both of these only work on amd64.

    An alternative stratagy has been used for x86, arm and arm64 where the the normal build system is used to build a tar containing all the binary files to be installed and containing a Makefile with an install rule. Then a wrapper ebuild is used to install from the tar so that Gentoo can properly track all installed files and treat them as a package that can be updated and removed.

    I have published a Gentoo portage repository containing the ebuilds. The README.md contains the instructions for usage.

    The prerequisites and KSH...

    $ sudo ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge app-shells/ksh
    

    Add an email group for dtmail

    $ sudo groupadd mail
    

    Ensure you have systemd running, if not

    $ sudo eselect profile list
    $ sudo eselect profile set number-of-systemd-profile
    $ sudo emerge -avDN @world
    

    And then install with

    $ sudo emerge x11-misc/dtlogin-service
    $ sudo systemctl enable dtlogin
