XFCE in TinyCore 15 32 Bits

[GNUser]

The wayland error you see is because mesa/x is not compiled against wayland in tc x86 to avoid additional size.

I was testing xfwm4 in TCL15 x86 in a pure X environment. I guess the libxfce4ui-2.so.0 library I borrowed from Debian Bookworm x86 is hardwired to ask about wayland display type even when running in X

Hello, in all these hours I have learned a lot...this experience has been very useful to me...although it has not yet had results...

1. Convert from DEB to TCZ...very interesting!!!...it opens a door to the entire Debian world...

2. I downloaded the DEB directly from the Debian Bookworm i386 page..(https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/xfwm4) I had to modify the deb2tcz program due to the type of compression..

3. I didn't know the "ar" command. So welcome to new commands!!

4. Finally download the following libraries... and leave them as TCZ.

xfwm4.tcz
libxfce4ui-2-0.tcz
libxfce4util17.tcz
libxconf-0-3.tcz
libxres1.tcz

with the next wall..

tc@box : xfwn4
xfwm4 : error while loading shared libraries: libstartup-notificacions-1.so.0: cannot open shaed object file: No such file or directory..

I understand this library is already part of the starting core... and I'm starting to get away from my goal...

I believe GNUser is more closer than me...

Also, i found two videos about the same..

Veronika dit it with TC10 ( 5 years ago..)

Hi ALF. Borrowing from Debian is not going to work in the particular case of xfwm4. See responses #12 and #13.

To make xfwm4 work on TCL15 x86 would be a monster of a project. I think a smaller project would make for a more rewarding first foray into packaging for TCL.

[ALF]

ok, GNUser I think you are right...what a shame!!

Anyway it was an experience!!..if one day you decide to work on that project...please count on me!!

Thanks for all!!

an xfwm4 extension with borrowed binaries and libraries from Debian is not going to work on TCL15 x86, so

... so perhaps
consider dCore (to) Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions

Hi mocore. Whether Debian packages are imported as tcz or sce is not the issue. See Juanito's reply above.

Your suggestion would only help ALF if mesa/x in 32-bit dCore is compiled against wayland.

Hi GNUser
I did a little poking around in the dCore download section:
http://tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/

From what I can tell, the only prepackaged SCEs are wireless
support to allow importing all other required packages.

So if he runs dCore, all of the imported packages should be
compatible with each other, shouldn't they?

[GNUser]

If X is also being imported then it should work.

You can also see various 64bit xfce4 build scripts here:

http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/x86_64/tcz/src/

For example:

http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/x86_64/tcz/src/libxfce4ui/

I built the basic xfce4 packages on tc-15.x x86, it’s rough and ready, but seems to run.

If there’s an interest I can post the extensions.

[Juanito]

xfwm4 and associated extensions posted to the tc-15.x x86 repo.

To run the xfce4 desktop from the console, for example:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i Xorg-7.7 xfwm4
sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start
startx
Also tested with Xorg-7.7-3d, but not with Xvesa or Xfbdev.

Even though I won't be using this, just wanted to take the opportunity to say that you rock, Juanito! You are probably the most prolific package maintainer on the planet.

Enjoy, ALF. Now you can have your Tiny Core and XFCE it, too!

Thanks for the kind words 

xfwm4 dep file modified to load mousepad, xfce4-notifyd and xfce4-terminal

xfce4 apps parole, ristretto and xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin added to the repo.

Hello Juanito, I already had lost hope, and by chance I entered the forum and saw what you had done...incredible!!!...I haven't tried it yet, but this weekend I will...Thank you very much!! ...from now on I have more hope in humanity!!!
