Here we go, after applying Marcin's patches, I can bring up Xsession using
these notes - can we make a wiki page for FreeBSD? :-)
1. Install freebsd9-amd64, get lib32 and ports
2. Add your hostname to the localhost line in /etc/hosts (I have a dhcp
address)
3. Update your ports tree with portsnap
4. install packages
pkg_add -r xorg
pkg_add -r git
pkg_add -r iconv
pkg_add -r bdftopcf
cd /usr/ports/shells/ksh93; make; make install
4. build openmotif from ports, fix the Makefile first (fixes a problem
building dtpad and dtmail related to XmPrintCallbackStruct)
cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/open-motif
vi Makefile
change the line
CPPFLAGS+= -DCSRG_BASED -DXUSE_MTSAFE_API -DXNO_MTSAFE_PWDAPI
to:
CPPFLAGS+= -DCSRG_BASED -DXUSE_MTSAFE_API -DXNO_MTSAFE_PWDAPI
-I${LOCALBASE}/include
make
make install
5. add to /etc/rc.conf
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
rpcbind_enable="YES"
rpc_lockd_enable="YES"
rpc_statd_enable="YES"
6. reboot your machine.
8. clone the source from the git repository (I'm doing all of this as root
on an expendable machine.)
cd ~
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/cdesktopenv/code cdesktopenv-code
9. make symlinks
cd ~/cdesktopenv-code/cde/imports
mkdir -p x11
cd x11
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin .
ln -s /usr/local/include .
ln -s /usr/local/lib .
cd ~/cdesktopenv-code/cde/imports/motif
mkdir -p include
cd include
ln -s /usr/local/include/Xm .
10. pull down sapers patches from the news server (hopefully these will be
fit to be merged into the mainline soon.)
cd ~/cdesktopenv-code/cde
git apply patch from:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=1345083730-60762-1-git-send-email-saper%40saper.info&forum_name=cdesktopenv-devel
git apply patch from
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=1345334660-16345-1-git-send-email-saper%40saper.info&forum_name=cdesktopenv-devel
make World
11. do the installation
# Install CDE
cd ~/cdesktopenv-code/cde/admin/IntegTools/dbTools
./installCDE -s /path/to/cdesktopenv-code/cde/
# It seems this dir needs to be writable by every user of CDE
chmod -R a+rwx /var/dt
# Directory required for calendar service
mkdir -p /usr/spool/calendar
mkdir -p /etc/tt
cp ~/cdesktopenv-code/cde/programs/tttypes/types.xdr /etc/tt
12. Fire it up :-)
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/dt/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/usr/dt/bin:$PATH
export LANG=C
startx /usr/dt/bin/Xsession
