LXDE

[bmarkus]

I started to port LXDE to TC 2.3 just recently, hope it will be up in a reasonable time.

There are LXDE components which are independent, depend only on GTK2 and can be used as standalone applications in any desktop environment. Such applications like LXTask, LXTerminal, LXRandr, GPicView, PCManFM, ... I will post them as independent extensions in the mean time.

pcmanfm is already in the repo

True, but it requires a rebuild, as some files were removed in the referred extension needed now.

EDIT:

One more thing. Current version is built disabling DBUS/HAL as HAL was not available that time. Now as HAL is available, enabling it would offer benefits specially as part of a desktop environment. But lets see wheather it is really needed or not when it works.

Thanks for the effort on LXDE, it will be a very good addition to the tc base.

I believe you meant tc repository. LXDE and all of its dependencies are way too large to even be considered for tc base.

Yes of course.

Just how big is LXDE? I read somewhere (can't remember where) it uses under 50MBs of RAM.

Wait till it will work to see RAM usage

Hey, just thought I'd drop in and say I'm looking to base my netbook on an LXDE TinyCore build with FF3.5 (or whatever is the latest by the time that happens).

looks like development of LXDE on TC has stopped, but if it starts up again, you'll have a user in me.

Best,

P

Hello.  New to tinycorelinux, but excited about it.  I am also extremely interested in having LXDE, but with a slightly different motive.

My first question is, where is development documentation and how to build your own modules for tineycore.  I'm assuming it would be similar to LFS, but am unfamiliar with what installation tools or dependency checking this distro uses.

And, as you can tell, my motive is to build LXDE myself ...

Thanks for your great OS, and hopefully helpful as always,

TamusJRoyce

If you mean building extensions, see http://wiki.tinycorelinux.com/tiki-index.php?page=Creating+Extensions
