INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLING CRUX-XFCE4 REPO
=====
1. First download the necessary files:
```bash
wget --no-ch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mac-a-r0ni/crux-xfce4/master/crux-xfce4.httpup
```
2. Move the downloaded file to the proper folder:
```bash
sudo mv crux-xfce4.httpup /etc/ports/
```
4. Create the dir where the ports are contained:
```bash
sudo mkdir /usr/ports/crux-xfce4
```
4. Add the ports line in yours */etc/prt-get.conf* to fetch the repo:
prtdir /usr/ports/crux-xfce4
5. Update the repo into your computer:
```bash
sudo ports -u crux-xfce4
```
NOTES
=====
1. Enable the contrib repo because some dependencies reside there.
2. The XFCE 4.18 Desktop has been tested on CRUX/CRUX-ARM 3.7. You may need to ignore footprints if youve installed certain software from the official repos.
CONTACT
=====
If you have any questions, doubts or problems regarding the ports, please feel free to contact me at j at lngn dot net or just open a [issue](https://github.com/mac-a-r0ni/crux-xfce4/issues).
XFCE INSTALLATION
=====
1. To ensure you have a sane Xorg installation I decided to put all the Xorg dependencies with the first package you install from XFCE on **libxfce4util**
2. Install the packages in this **exact order**:
```bash
sudo prt-get depinst libxfce4util xfconf libxfce4ui udisks2 gvfs garcon exo xfce4-panel thunar thunar-volman xfce4-settings xfce4-session xfwm4 xfdesktop xfce4-appfinder tumbler xfce4-terminal xfce4-power-manager xfce4-notifyd xfce4-screenshooter mousepad xdg-user-dirs
```
3. Get a big cup of coffee and just relax...
4. To launch Xfce create a *.xinitrc* file in your *home* directory with the following content:
```bash
#!/bin/sh
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4
```
5. If you have any problem launching XFCE and you have a an Intel graphic card, install **xorg-xf86-video-intel** and the **mesa** ports from the xorg repo.
6. For apps that need authorization (running as root) on X11 you'll need to install the 'polkit-gnome' and 'pinentry-gtk' ports, also from this repo.
7. Enjoy this beautiful Desktop Environment!
