Compiling / Installing
Before attempting to compile OpenCDE, you must edit the 'config.Mk' file. Ensure that the PLATFORM variable is set to your target platform and that the PREFIX variable points to the location in which you would like to install OpenCDE to.
If using an operating system other than FreeBSD or Linux, you will likely need to modify the CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to point to your build environment.
OpenCDE requires no dependencies other than OpenMotif and it's required libraries.
You can compile and install OpenCDE by issuing the following commands
$ cd opencde $ make
If you are porting OpenCDE and require the build to be handled by some kind of build harness, you can use the following commands to prevent you from needing to edit config.Mk.
$ cd opencde $ make PLATFORM=FREEBSD
There are two versions of dtwm: the standard version is a wrapper script for mwm, while the other is a fork of mwm, which was at one point bundled with OpenCDE. The fork is currently available from https://github.com/idunham/dtwm.git if you prefer to use it; it is licensed under the OpenMotif license.
Enjoy,
