INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLING CRUX-XFCE4 REPO

First download the necessary files:

bash wget --no-ch https://codeberg.org/jlngn/xfce4/raw/branch/3.8/xfce4.httpup wget --no-ch https://codeberg.org/jlngn/xfce4/raw/branch/3.8/xfce4.pub

Move the downloaded file to the proper folder:

bash sudo mv xfce4.httpup xfce4.pub /etc/ports/

Create the dir where the ports are contained: bash sudo mkdir /usr/ports/xfce4
Add the ports line in your /etc/prt-get.conf to fetch the repo:

prtdir /usr/ports/xfce4

Update the repo onto your computer:

bash sudo ports -u xfce4

NOTES

Enable the contrib repo because some dependencies reside there.
The XFCE 4.20 Desktop has been tested on CRUX/CRUX-ARM 3.7 & 3.8. You may need to ignore footprints if you've installed certain software from the official repos.
I'm currently testing some "meta" ports, there is a basic skeleton desktop port which will pull in the bare minimum needed for running the XFCE Desktop. After the repo is setup run:

bash sudo prt-get depinst xfce4 Please note, it's the bare minimum, and does not contain any gvfs ports, or any other plugins. You will need to then build any extra ports you would like. 4. Optionally, the experimental labwc Wayland session is available, but requires Wayland support has been compiled into gtk3, mesa and more. 5. Some ports depend on libxml2 and previously with 2.14.x ports would build, but 2.15 requires libxml2 be built with doxygen (which is optional). So you must first depinst doxygen and then build (rebuild) libxml2 in order to successfully build ports. 6. During migration from github to codeberg I've removed elogind related ports. If you want elogind session handling, there is a separite repo available here to add it.

CONTACT

If you have any questions, doubts or problems regarding the ports, please feel free to contact me at j at lngn dot net or just open a issue.

XFCE INSTALLATION

To ensure you have a sane Xorg installation I decided to put all the Xorg dependencies with the first package you install from XFCE on libxfce4util
Install the packages in this exact order:

bash sudo prt-get depinst libxfce4util xfconf libxfce4ui udisks2 gvfs garcon exo xfce4-panel thunar thunar-volman xfce4-settings xfce4-session xfwm4 xfdesktop xfce4-appfinder tumbler xfce4-terminal xfce4-power-manager xfce4-notifyd xfce4-screenshooter mousepad xdg-user-dirs

Get a big cup of coffee and just relax...
To launch Xfce create a .xinitrc file in your home directory with the following content: bash #!/bin/sh exec dbus-launch startxfce4 --with-ck-launch
If you have any problem launching XFCE and you have a an Intel graphic card, install xorg-xf86-video-intel and the mesa ports from the xorg repo.
For apps that need authorization (running as root) on X11 you'll need to install the 'polkit-gnome' and 'pinentry' ports.
Enjoy this beautiful Desktop Environment!
