| - | ====== Installing EDE on Arch Linux ====== | + | The former content of this page was moved [[EDEOnArchLinux|here]]. |
| - | + | ||
| - | When installing ''EDE'' on an ''Arch Linux'' machine you can choose between using a custom repository provided by ''EDE'' or building the packages yourself. Using the former method, ''pacman'' will take care of updating ''EDE'' if a new version is released on the ''EDE'' repository. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===== Installing pre-built packages ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | **Note: All packages in the ''EDE'' repository are currently //unsigned//!** | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Installing EDE can be done in 4 simple steps: | + | |
| - | - Open your pacman configuration file (///etc/pacman.conf//) with your favorite editor | + | |
| - | - Add the following lines to it (you can just leave the //$arch// variable as it is; your system knows it): <code> | + | |
| - | [ede] | + | |
| - | SigLevel = Never | + | |
| - | Server = http://www.equinox-project.org/repos/arch/$arch | + | |
| - | </code> | + | |
| - | - Update pacman database files by invoking: **pacman -Syy** | + | |
| - | - Simply install ''EDE'' like any other package. E.g.: **pacman -S ede** | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===== Available packages ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ''EDE'' for Arch is currently split into four packages: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | * **edelib** - ''EDE'''s support library which implements functions not provided by ''FLTK'' | + | |
| - | * **ede-common** - Platform independent data for ''EDE'' (e.g. icons) | + | |
| - | * **ede** - ''EDE'' and ''PekWM'' binaries | + | |
| - | * **ede-wallpapers** - __Optional__ wallpaper package | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===== Trouble shooting ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | If you're experiencing difficulties, it might help tp add the lines mentioned above at the beginning of the file //pacman.conf// instead of appending them at the end. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===== Building / installing from source ====== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | For Arch Linux there are two //PKGBUILD// files available in the [[https://aur.archlinux.org/|AUR]]: **edelib** and **ede**. You can download those and use the ''Arch Build System'' to create the packages. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Alternatively you can of course follow the generic building procedure, too: InstallingFromSource. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===== Starting EDE ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | You can either use a graphical login manager to bring up ''EDE'' or simply use ''Xorg'''s //startx// command (make sure you have installed the package //xorg-xinit// in the later case. It is not part of //xorg-server// on ''Arch Linux''!). If you want to use //startx//, just create a new file **.xinitrc** with the content //exec startede// in your home directory. You can do so with the following two commands: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | <code> | + | |
| - | cd | + | |
| - | echo "exec startede" > .xinitrc | + | |
| - | </code> | + | |
