-= 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: +
- +
-  1) Open your pacman configuration file (''/​etc/​pacman.conf''​) with your favorite editor<<​BR>>​ +
-  2) Add the following lines to it (you can just leave the ''​$arch''​ variable as it is; your system knows it): +
- +
-{{{ +
-  ​[ede] +
-  SigLevel = Never +
-  Server = http://​www.equinox-project.org/​repos/​arch/​$arch +
-}}} +
- +
-  3) Update pacman database files by invoking: '''​pacman -Syy'''<<​BR>>​ +
-  4) Simply install EDE like any other package. E.g.: '''​pacman -S ede'''​ +
- +
-=== Available packages === +
- +
-EDE for Arch is 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: +
- +
-{{{ +
-cd +
-echo "exec startede"​ > .xinitrc +
-}}} +
