This package is slightly out of date. The warning that rpcbind must be set to insecure mode has been obsolete for a while now. It can be removed because rpcbind no longer requires insecure mode for modern versions.

Commenting here in case it's useful to anyone else: I've created a cdesktopenv-git AUR package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cdesktopenv-git/) that's based on this. Tested and works on my machine™;)

An update would be nice https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/Archlinux_Build/

Could you please update the pkg to 2.3.0? TIA.

That's dthello. It's a know bug on 64 bit Archlinux and no one has found the cause or the solution.

Not sure if anybody else is getting this. 64-bit user here. Upon startup, it seems to run fine, but a window is up on start saying The desktop messaging system could not be started. It says some more, such as edit hostname and I tried it, the command Hostname prints the hostname I changed it to in /etc/hosts and I changed it for this session too with hostnamectl. Around this error are various boxes, all errors, each saying "Could not connect to ToolTalk TT_ERR_INTERNALInternal error (bug)". Googling seems to print a bunch of results for Solaris and HP-UX.

Sorry, its not something I've been working on because I only run CDE on a 32bit machine. When I tried to install this package in a 64 bit VM I got an error message when the desktop started up stating that the message passing daemon couldn't be started. I don't know if the correct modules built succesfully or not and I don't have time to investigate further at the moment.

Is there any word on 64-bit support? Please update wiki page with details https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Common_Desktop_Environment

I've adopted this package and uploaded an updated PKBUILD based on the previous work done. It works for me on x86 systems (not tested thoroughly on x86_64 yet). One important point - you have to edit /etc/conf.d/rpcbind to add "-i" to the list of startup options to run it in insecure mode. NB - I have no idea how many holes this will open up in your machine's security - you run it at your own risk.
