How do I add another DE when building with Woof-CE?

[liogab11]

How do you add add a desktop environment to the build process? I would like to try building my own Puppy with XFCE.
I'm no stranger to PL but Woof-CE mystifies me...

Thanks!

1. decide which base system you want to use
2. get the current puppy configs for that base system from github: https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... oof-distro
3. work out what components you need to add for xfce (see below)
4. construct a further component to configure xfce
5. add all the new components to DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-***
6. build your new system

X-Slacko may give you some clues ..... http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=726493

You can also add: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/ ... XFCE-ydrv/
to LxPupBionic or LxPupSc to give you an XFCE desktop based on the Porteus XFCE module (screenshot below)

The "configure" component for the XFCE-ydrv is attached.

So I need to load another adrv to make the yrdv work better, is that right?

No - the adrv was used to build the ydrv..... the name is unfortunate but was never meant to be made "public"
