| - | arch | + | ====== Installing EDE on Arch Linux ====== |
| + | |||
| + | 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> | ||
