# Compiling
|
|
|
|
Complete build and installation instructions can be found on the CDE
|
|
wiki:
|
|
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/Home/
|
|
|
|
Please go there and read the appropriate section(s) for your OS (Linux
|
|
or FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD currently) prior to attmpting to build it.
|
|
|
|
There are a variety of dependencies that must be met, as well as
|
|
specific set up steps required to build, especially relating localization
|
|
and locales.
|
|
|
|
Do not expect to just type 'make' and have it actually work without
|
|
meeting the prerequisites and following the correct steps as spelled
|
|
out on the wiki.
|
|
|
|
There are also a lot of other documents and information there that you
|
|
might find useful.
|
|
|
|
Assuming you've met all of the requirements regarding packages needed
|
|
for the build, you can follow the standard autoconf method:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./autogen.sh
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
NOTE: BSD users must currently install and use gmake to compile, as
|
|
well as specify the location of the TCL libraries and headers. So
|
|
the instructions for them would looke like:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./autogen.sh
|
|
$ ./configure --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.6 MAKE="gmake"
|
|
$ gmake
|
|
$ sudo gmake install
|
|
```
