Packages

BLFS (older release page -- still current upstream, no newer version exists). The nuoveXT2 icon set. xfce4-settings and general XFCE UI list a real icon theme (gnome-icon-theme or lxde-icon-theme) as a Required Runtime dependency -- we already declined adwaita-icon-theme because librsvg needs Rust; lxde-icon-theme ships pre-rendered PNGs and has no such dependency, so it's the real icon set for this build instead of the empty hicolor fallback. Just ./configure --prefix=/usr && make install, no test suite. Security/update pass 2026-10-14. 0.5.2 only exists as a GitHub tag archive; build.sh runs autoreconf.

Not in BLFS's own package list -- pulled in because itstool (needed by lightdm) requires the Python lxml module. Builds as a C extension against our already-built libxml2/libxslt headers; the sdist ships pre-generated Cython .c files so no Cython build-time dependency is needed. Same pip-wheel pattern as mako/pyyaml. || 6.1.1 -> 6.1.3 (2026-10-19, v1.49 update; sha256 archive-test only).

LXQt shared CMake modules + a couple helper scripts. Build-time dep of every other LXQt package. LXQt 2.4 minimal-but-real desktop stack, ship_in_iso=false (Packages-page / Package Manager install only, like KDE Plasma). Built on .101 against /opt/qt6-full + KF6 6.29. cmake/meson --libdir=lib for LinuxDoors' non-multiarch layout.

LXQt Configuration Center (appearance, monitor, keyboard/mouse, locale, autostart). LXQt 2.4 minimal-but-real desktop stack, ship_in_iso=false (Packages-page / Package Manager install only, like KDE Plasma). Built on .101 against /opt/qt6-full + KF6 6.29. cmake/meson --libdir=lib for LinuxDoors' non-multiarch layout.

One-statement installer for the full LXQt 2.4 desktop -- 'pkg install lxqt-desktop' resolves the whole component set (session/panel/config/runner/notificationd/globalkeys/policykit/powermanagement/qtplugin/themes/menu-data/openssh-askpass/lxqt-sudo/pcmanfm-qt/qterminal/obconf-qt/openbox) plus their transitive deps (liblxqt, libfm-qt, qtermwidget, qt6-full, kwindowsystem, layer-shell-qt, ...). Ships no binaries -- just /usr/share/doc/lxqt-desktop/README as a marker so the zip/manifest are non-empty and uninstall works. Same 'local hand-authored asset as a pinned source' pattern as packages/sudo (source.url is a label; resolve_source never contacts it -- the tarball is pre-placed in download/ with a matching sha256). LXQt's other DEs (KDE Plasma, GNOME, Cinnamon, Budgie, Enlightenment) install via a single leaf package already; this gives LXQt parity. Listed on linuxdoors.com/desktops.

Global keyboard-shortcut daemon + config UI. LXQt 2.4 minimal-but-real desktop stack, ship_in_iso=false (Packages-page / Package Manager install only, like KDE Plasma). Built on .101 against /opt/qt6-full + KF6 6.29. cmake/meson --libdir=lib for LinuxDoors' non-multiarch layout.

XDG .menu / .directory files for the LXQt application menu. LXQt 2.4 minimal-but-real desktop stack, ship_in_iso=false (Packages-page / Package Manager install only, like KDE Plasma). Built on .101 against /opt/qt6-full + KF6 6.29. cmake/meson --libdir=lib for LinuxDoors' non-multiarch layout.

org.freedesktop.Notifications daemon for LXQt. LXQt 2.4 minimal-but-real desktop stack, ship_in_iso=false (Packages-page / Package Manager install only, like KDE Plasma). Built on .101 against /opt/qt6-full + KF6 6.29. cmake/meson --libdir=lib for LinuxDoors' non-multiarch layout.

The LXQt panel (taskbar, app menu, clock, tray, quicklaunch, sysstat, ...). LXQt 2.4 minimal-but-real desktop stack, ship_in_iso=false (Packages-page / Package Manager install only, like KDE Plasma). Built on .101 against /opt/qt6-full + KF6 6.29. cmake/meson --libdir=lib for LinuxDoors' non-multiarch layout.

Battery / idle / lid power-management daemon + config UI. LXQt 2.4 minimal-but-real desktop stack, ship_in_iso=false (Packages-page / Package Manager install only, like KDE Plasma). Built on .101 against /opt/qt6-full + KF6 6.29. cmake/meson --libdir=lib for LinuxDoors' non-multiarch layout.

Qt6 platform-theme plugin that makes plain Qt apps follow LXQt icon/style/font settings. LXQt 2.4 minimal-but-real desktop stack, ship_in_iso=false (Packages-page / Package Manager install only, like KDE Plasma). Built on .101 against /opt/qt6-full + KF6 6.29. cmake/meson --libdir=lib for LinuxDoors' non-multiarch layout.

Quick command / app launcher (Alt+F2 style). LXQt 2.4 minimal-but-real desktop stack, ship_in_iso=false (Packages-page / Package Manager install only, like KDE Plasma). Built on .101 against /opt/qt6-full + KF6 6.29. cmake/meson --libdir=lib for LinuxDoors' non-multiarch layout.

LXQt session manager -- installs /usr/share/xsessions/lxqt.desktop so lightdm offers 'LXQt' as a selectable session. LXQt 2.4 minimal-but-real desktop stack, ship_in_iso=false (Packages-page / Package Manager install only, like KDE Plasma). Built on .101 against /opt/qt6-full + KF6 6.29. cmake/meson --libdir=lib for LinuxDoors' non-multiarch layout.

LFS ch8. Plain make, not autotools. Skips the optional make check.

LFS ch8, final native build. Skips the optional make check.

LFS ch6 temporary tools stage. Installed straight into $LFS/usr so later ch6 tools (and eventually the chroot) can use it; not shipped as an end-user package (ch8 doesn't rebuild m4, but it's part of the disposable temp toolset, not final-system output we package).

LFS ch8, final native build. Skips the optional test suite.

Not in BLFS's own list -- discovered as a real build-time need when mesa's meson.build required Python's mako module (code generation for shader/dispatch tables) and failed with a misleading 'Python >= 3.10 not found' error even though python3.14 was already present. Built via the same pip3 wheel + install --root= pattern as flit-core/packaging/wheel/setuptools.

LFS ch8. --with-browser/--with-vgrind/--with-grap point at lynx/vgrind/grap, none of which we've built -- harmless per the book (man-db degrades gracefully without them, just can't use those optional features).
