Table of Contents

Preparation

Install packages:

  • xorg
  • xorg-server-devel
  • gcc
  • dnsutils
  • git
  • libxinerama
  • libxss
  • ncurses
  • openmotif
  • rpcbind
  • xbitmaps
  • bison
  • flex
  • tcl

Build and install the following AUR repositories:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/ksh.git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/ncompress.git

The system does not symlink /usr/bin/cpp to /lib/cpp anymore which breaks the CDE compile. As root:

ln -s /usr/bin/cpp /lib/cpp

You must make this symlink before you compile or you won't get far.

Build and Install

At this point, go to the Compiling section on the [LinuxBuild] page, and continue from there.

    There is a PKGBUILD in the AUR which may work for you. After the change to systemd the correct procedure for setting up rpcbind is to edit /etc/conf.d/rpcbind and change the line:

    RPCBIND_ARGS=""

    to:

    RPCBIND_ARGS="-i"

    As of CDE release 2.2.4a this step is no longer required.

    Package rpcsvc-proto is required for rpcgen(1) command.
