Installation Strategies
If you're committed to LXDE as your desktop, you will likely install it in the /usr hierarchy. If less committed, or you prefer to install LXDE in an easy to remove location, the /opt hierarchy may be more suitable.
Installing LXDE into /usr
Create an addition to the Bash Startup Files:
cat > /etc/profile.d/30-lxde.sh << "EOF" # Begin /etc/profile.d/30-lxde.sh export LXDE_PREFIX=/usr export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS+:}/etc/lxde/xdg" # End /etc/profile.d/30-lxde.sh EOF source /etc/profile
Installing LXDE into /opt
Create the /opt/lxde directory:
install -v -m755 -d /opt/lxde
Non-Multilib
Create an addition to the Bash Startup Files:
cat > /etc/profile.d/30-lxde.sh << "EOF" # Begin /etc/profile.d/30-lxde.sh export LXDE_PREFIX=/opt/lxde if [ $EUID -eq 0 ]; then export PATH="${PATH}:${LXDE_PREFIX}/sbin" fi export PATH="${PATH}:${LXDE_PREFIX}/bin" export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}${PKG_CONFIG_PATH+:}${LXDE_PREFIX}/lib/pkgconfig" export XDG_DATA_DIRS="${XDG_DATA_DIRS}${XDG_DATA_DIRS+:}${LXDE_PREFIX}/share" export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS+:}/etc/lxde/xdg" # End /etc/profile.d/30-lxde.sh EOF source /etc/profile
Add a new entry to /etc/ld.so.conf for the libraries that LXDE is going to install:
cat >> /etc/ld.so.conf << "EOF" # Begin LXDE addition to /etc/ld.so.conf /opt/lxde/lib # End LXDE addition EOF
Multilib
Create an addition to the Bash Startup Files:
cat > /etc/profile.d/30-lxde.sh << "EOF" # Begin /etc/profile.d/30-lxde.sh export LXDE_PREFIX=/opt/lxde if [ $EUID -eq 0 ]; then export PATH="${PATH}:${LXDE_PREFIX}/sbin" fi export PATH="${PATH}:${LXDE_PREFIX}/bin" export PKG_CONFIG_PATH32="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32+:}${LXDE_PREFIX}/lib/pkgconfig" export PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32+:}${LXDE_PREFIX}/lib32/pkgconfig" export PKG_CONFIG_PATH64="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64+:}${LXDE_PREFIX}/lib64/pkgconfig" export XDG_DATA_DIRS="${XDG_DATA_DIRS}${XDG_DATA_DIRS+:}${LXDE_PREFIX}/share" export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS+:}/etc/lxde/xdg" # End /etc/profile.d/30-lxde.sh EOF source /etc/profile
Add a new entry to /etc/ld.so.conf for the libraries that LXDE is going to install:
cat >> /etc/ld.so.conf << "EOF" # Begin LXDE addition to /etc/ld.so.conf /opt/lxde/lib /opt/lxde/lib32 /opt/lxde/lib64 # End LXDE addition EOF
