Howto Compile in OpenBSD 4.5
I've installed 4.5 to an old Via C3 machine and want to compile the LXDE destop for the system. I have compiled software in Slackware but recently have been using *.SlackBuild build scripts. I looked in the OBSD FAQ and compile steps were mainly centered on the kernel and core apps.
My questions are 1) Do I need to add any additional packages/configurations to compile in OBSD? 2) Any ./configure conventions I need to be aware of in OBSD? I am assuming all builds go in /usr/local/. 3) I would like to try using OBSD build scripts. Is there a generic build script and where might it be found? Thanks in advance Last edited by shep; 7th May 2009 at 11:17 PM. |

Thanks Jggimi.
I looked over the available packages for 4.5 and saw that several packages that are normally included in the LXDE desktop were available (openbox, pcmanfm, gpicview and lxrandr). I will install those packages with pkg_add before attempting to compile the remaining components. The sourceforge LXDE site indicates that most of the apps will stand alone so it should not be as daunting as building a gnome or kde desktop. I'll look at some the Makefiles in ports. |
