Fail to start CDE on my arch

Hello,guys:
  I wanna try CDE (cdesktopenv) on my Arch (i686 and kernel is  4.7.2-1-ARCH ) ,I did the these operations:
1. download cde-src-2.2.4.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net and put it in /root
2. tar -xzvf cde-src-2.2.4.tar.gz
3. then I follow this  https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/LinuxBuild/ step by step . There is no error when I installing

but when I do this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/cdesktopenv/cde/exports/lib
cd /root/cde=src-2.2.4/programs/dtcalc
./dtcalc

It show " Error: Can't open display:" and I don't know where is wrong.

Then I do this:
# add /usr/dt/bin to your PATH
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin
export LANG=C
# Start CDE
startx /usr/dt/bin/Xsession

It just shows a terminal,there is nothing else , will anybody tell me what to do about this ?

Thank you!

You are doing it wrong: install it from the AUR: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … nvironment

Not an Installation issue, moving to NC...

Is this the full output? Try using makepkg manually and post the full output.

Re: Fail to start CDE on my arch

Sorry for that,I didn't notice that there is no space on my disk, so the building is failed.
I will try again.

Thank you for answering.
