| - | = 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: | ||
| - | |||
| - | 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 | ||
| - | }}} | ||
