Hi there. This is an ooooooolder post but let me share with you my how-to use CDE over FreeBSD:
Install some base packages:
Edit the file /etc/rc.conf and add those lines:
Reboot the system:
If you see any error message during compiling time, then you should install the libs or utility that message says and re-compile again.
When you finish the compiling process then you need to install the files as root:
Way 1: Using the CDE login manager (manually or adding it to /etc/defaults/rc.conf for autostart)
Install some base packages:
pkg install -y xorg git iconv bdftopcf libXp libXScrnSaver ksh93 open-motif tcl86
Edit the file /etc/rc.conf and add those lines:
rpcbind_enable="YES"
inetd_enable="YES"
inetd_enable="YES"
Reboot the system:
- reboot
- git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/cdesktopenv/code cdesktopenv-code
- cd cdesktopenv-code/cde
- make World
If you see any error message during compiling time, then you should install the libs or utility that message says and re-compile again.
When you finish the compiling process then you need to install the files as root:
- cd admin/IntegTools/dbTools
- ./installCDE -s /path/to/cdesktopenv-code/cde ***Here you need to replace with the compile path where source files where downloaded, generally some folder up: ../../../
Way 1: Using the CDE login manager (manually or adding it to /etc/defaults/rc.conf for autostart)
- /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -nodaemon
- startx /usr/dt/bin/Xsession
