EDE (Equinox Desktop Environment) on minix 3

[sevilla.l...@gmail.com]

I'm new to minix.  I'm trying to install a GUI Desktop in Minix.

Based on available documentation:

I installed latest minix_R3.4.0rc6-d5e4fc0 on a PC (Pentium D, IDE disk.)

executed postinstallation, ie, password, timezone, hostname, ...

and also:

pkgin update

pkgin_sets

pkgin install nano (text editing)

cd /usr

git clone git://git.minix3.org/minix src

cd /usr/src

make build

reboot

Tried to install EDE using pkgin but failed. seems none. found pkgsrc.

cd /usr

make pkgsrc

cd /usr/pkgsrc/x11/ede

bmake

got error/conflict with pkg-config and pkgconf

pkgin remove pkg-config

pkgin install pkgconf

bmake        (again)

error:

/usr/pkgsrc/work/x11/ede/work/.buildlink/lib/libefltk.so: undefined reference to 'copy_row'

... '__pthread_usleep'

... '__pthread_read'

... '__pthread_write'

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (...)

gmake[1]: *** [ecolorconf] Error 1

Makefile:33: recipe for target 'all' failed

gmake: *** [all] Error 2

*** Error code 2

Stop.

...

Q1: Did I missed some steps?

Q2: Is EDE running on Minix 3?

Hi,

I had some similar problems earlier (at the time of minix3.2.1) building EDE2.0 too but now there's EDE2.1 out as well so you may give that a try. However, here is my discussion with the guys at EDE that tackles (besides many others) similar problems to yours, so it may help:
