CDE - The Common Destop Environment

In 2012, CDE was opensourced under the terms of the LGPL V2 license by the Open Group.

You may reuse and redistribute this code under the terms of this license. See the COPYING file for details.

Downloading

Downloading this release:

CDE may be downloaded in source form from the Common Desktop Environment website:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdesktopenv/

Or via git:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/cdesktopenv/code CDE

The git repository will always be more up to date than the downloadable tarballs we make available, so if you have problems, please try the latest version from git master.

Note also that the master branch may be unstable, so your milage may vary.

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 to 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

Of course change to location of your TCL directory as needed for your system.
