Seems like the pkgbuild file has a typo because otherwise makepkg -si fails with "no such file or directory", so heres a patch in git format:

Genuinely a beautiful DE judging by the screenshots, can't wait to try it out :)

This wont build without modifications to the PKGBuild as the tar file lists the source directory as ede-ede-2.1, while the PKGBuild looks for ede-2.1.

There are also no pekwm sources included, even though it is listed as provides, it's also listed as conflict. This is fine, however pekwm that is included fails to build with a lot of error messages.

A very hacky, dirty and broken way of making it work is installing pekwem first, and then remove

/usr/share/pekwm/themes/default/menuline.png /usr/share/pekwm/themes/default/title.png /usr/share/pekwm/themes/default/theme /usr/share/pekwm/scripts/pekwm_*

If you don't the ede package will refuse to install. You'll at least get the window manager working.

Also found this issue with how it is packaged:

https://github.com/edeproject/ede/issues/2

There are also no desktop icons and no menu icons, among other things that seem to not be working.

Well, this is still using sources from the sourceforge repository (last updated in 2014). Currently there is a github repository whose last commit dates 2018 (https://github.com/edeproject/ede), so I think this could be considered out of date

keenerd commented on 2020-01-22 21:08 (UTC)

Why was this flagged out of date? There was no new version released.

<deleted-account> commented on 2012-10-03 16:52 (UTC)

late but at time: The AUR/PKGBUILd standard say try to not override the flags else if is need like the -fPIC probably a ${cxxflasg} -fPIC can by enought but I need watch another pkg with same problems for see wath is done there

tombenko commented on 2012-08-11 12:52 (UTC)

Wow, I like this DE! :) Small, fast and recalls sweet old memories. :) Thank You!

neuromancer85 commented on 2012-06-10 09:30 (UTC)

Thanks for the -fPIC fix. However, is there any reason to not use "-march=native -mtune=native" since the package is usually compiled for the machine where it will be installed?

<deleted-account> commented on 2012-06-10 02:09 (UTC)

if [ $CARCH = 'i686' ] ; then build flags for i686 then build flags for x86_64 fi Tip: If you have errors in build try to read them, in this case, all tips that i give to you are taken from error outputs
