Build, Test run & Installation 

Steps 

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --datadir=/usr/local/share --sysconfdir=/etc/X11
make
pkg=xfce
make -n install | tee ../../logs/$pkg.log.0
make install | tee ../../logs/$pkg.log.1
xfce_setup

Help 

Run xfce_setup to set up replacement files in user's home directory. These files will fire up xfwm and xfce every time the user starts an X session (through startx or through xdm).

The previous configurations files are saved in a hidden directory .xfce_bckp/

As XFce supports Native Language Supports (NLS), make sure the environment variable LANG is correctly set for your country.

E.g.:

bash :  export LANG="fr"
