Hello. I recently bought a new PC and installed Debian GNU/Linux 11 bullseye on it, and now I am trying to install cde.
I today cloned from fresh git, did what the instruction say for dependencies and configure and those commands. After I built successfully with make, and did make install, these appear:
(A little longer but my terminal emulator's maximum scroll is that)
And I used the stock lightdm to run CDE, but when I do so, the application manager doesn't work, and help viewer shows nothing. Dual monitor order is also incorrect but this seems like just an X settings error..
Anyway, when I launch Application manager, it only gives the mssage saying
Hello, it did work, however the help files seemes to be keep missing :( Do you know a way to fix it? I'd like the help menus to appear correctly.. Thanks!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Oh.. I guess that got broken while changing some components...??
When I installed cde like 6 months ago on my laptop running debian 10, I used the command make World to build and it had the help files.
(But I could select to not build by doing make World.dev..)

And using terminal I tried to go to the directory /var/dt and the folder was completely blank.
What shall I do...?? Thanks..
by the way: I uninstalled sudo and installed doas (github.com/slicer69/doas) instead, can this be the cause?

Use dtlogin to login once. It will create the directory for you.
Thanks! I'll try it. :)

The doc for dthelp cannot be built yet.

Yes, it's changing and in developing. The master branch has been migrated to Autotools. You can download the 2.4.0 version if you need doc.
Are you planning on packaging cdesktopenv for Debian? If so, these pages might be helpful:

Hello, I'm just a user and is not planning to be a maintainer of the cdesktopenv package.
Thanks.
Hi, I am going through the process of formal packaging cdesktopenv for many operating systems. https://sourceforge.net/p/rhubarb-pi/wiki/cdesktopenv/ . I am now going through the process of updating these from 2.3.2 to 2.4.0. Using the packages keeps your system much cleaner and manageable. The dtlogin-service package manages the required services for Linux. https://sourceforge.net/projects/rhubarb-pi/files/debian/11/ . Regards.

The current version is not yet in a state to be shipped. The dtinfo does currently not build and the help system is missing
