Hello,
Finally got it working. My final script to automate the install, compile,
and configuration all in one shot here:
#Do all steps as root
#Install and configure portmap and rpcbind for CDE
apt-get -y install portmap rpcbind
cd /etc/init
mv portmap.conf portmap.old
sed 's/OPTIONS=\"-w\"/OPTIONS=\"-w -i\"/' < portmap.old > portmap.conf
#Install the rest of the required packages
apt-get -y install git build-essential libxp-dev libxt-dev libxmu-dev
libxft-dev libmotif4 libmotif-dev libxaw7-dev libx11-dev x11-xserver-utils
libjpeg-dev libfreetype6-dev tcl-dev ksh ncompress xfonts-100dpi
xfonts-100dpi-transcoded bison xbitmaps
#Use git to download latest source
mkdir -pv ~/src/cdesktopenv-code
cd ~/src
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/cdesktopenv/code cdesktopenv-code
cd cdesktopenv-code/cde
#Link X11 headers
mkdir -p imports/x11/include
cd imports/x11/include
ln -s /usr/include/X11
#Build
cd ~/src/cdesktopenv-code/cde
make World
#Install
cd ~/src/cdesktopenv-code/cde/admin/IntegTools/dbTools
./installCDE -s ~/src/cdesktopenv-code/cde
cd ~/src/cdesktopenv-code/cde/admin/IntegTools/post_install/linux
./configRun -e
chmod -R a+rwx /var/dt
mkdir -p /usr/spool/calendar
#Link to lightdm
cat > /usr/share/xsessions/cde.desktop << "EOM"
