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 + ``` + +2. Move the downloaded file to the proper folder: + + ```bash + sudo mv xfce4.httpup xfce4.pub /etc/ports/ + ``` + + 4. Create the dir where the ports are contained: + ```bash + sudo mkdir /usr/ports/xfce4 + ``` + +4. Add the ports line in your */etc/prt-get.conf* to fetch the repo: + + prtdir /usr/ports/xfce4 + +5. Update the repo onto your computer: + + ```bash + sudo ports -u xfce4 + ``` + +NOTES +===== +1. Enable the contrib repo because some dependencies reside there. +2. 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. +3. 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. 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](https://github.com/mac-a-r0ni/crux-xfce4/issues). + +XFCE INSTALLATION +===== +1. 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** +2. 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 + ``` + +3. Get a big cup of coffee and just relax... + +4. 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 + ``` + +5. 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. + +6. For apps that need authorization (running as root) on X11 you'll need to install the 'polkit-gnome' and 'pinentry' ports. + +7. Enjoy this beautiful Desktop Environment! |
