pkgsrc-wip: GDM + GNOME now runs on NetBSD
Good news! GDM and a minimal GNOME session can now be installed from pkgsrc-wip
Tested with:
- NetBSD 9.0 amd64 in VirtualBox
- PKGSRC_COMPILER=clang
Installation:
There are a number of outstanding issues. For now, MPROTECT needs to be
disabled
for wip/gjs and wip/gnome-shell to build and run. Also, wip/mutter only
builds with a pkgsrc
version of MesaLib (needs 'glesv2')
# sysctl -w security.pax.mprotect.enabled=0
# echo "security.pax.mprotect.enabled=0" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
# echo "PREFER_PKGSRC=MesaLib" >> /etc/mk.conf
The packages will pull a lot of dependencies. Some of them can be installed in
advance from binary repositories to save time. Ex. MesaLib, pulseaudio,
dbus, gtk
# make -C /usr/pkgsrc/wip/gdm install
# make -C /usr/pkgsrc/wip/gnome-session install
# make -C /usr/pkgsrc/wip/gnome-shell install
After installation, enable the rc.d scripts for dbus and gdm
# cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/dbus /etc/rc.d/
# cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/gdm /etc/rc.d/
# echo "dbus=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
# echo "gdm=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
I'll be watching the mailing list and continue on improving the
packages. Enjoy!
