Purpose of this release:
This release under a new license is numbered 2.2.0. It is almost identical to
the 2.1.30 release The Open Group made available to customers in 1999 but with
additional improvements to allow it to build under Linux. It's not called
2.1.30 to avoid confusion with versions of 2.1.30 not built from the open source
code.
This release of CDE under a new opensource license is numbered
starting at version 2.2.0.

Complete build and installation instructions can be found on the CDE
wiki:
http://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/Home/
Please go there and read the appropriate section(s) for your OS (Linux
or FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD currently). There are a variety of
dependancies that must be met, as well as specific set up steps
required to build.
Do not expect to just type 'make' and have it actually work without
meeting the prerequisites and following the correct steps as spelled
out on the wiki. :)
There are also a lot of other documents and information there that you
might find useful.
