We test Lab CodeTyphon 7.10 on DragonFly 5.8.0
DragonFly belongs to the same class of operating systems as other BSD-derived systems and Linux.
It is based on the same UNIX ideals and APIs and shares ancestor code with other BSD operating systems.
DragonFly provides an opportunity for the BSD base to grow in an entirely different direction from the one taken in the FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD series.
DragonFly includes many useful features that differentiate it from other operating systems in the same class.
The most prominent one is HAMMER, our modern high performance filesystem with built-in mirroring and historic access functionality.
Virtual kernels provide the ability to run a full-blown kernel as a user process for the purpose of managing resources or for accelerated kernel development and debugging.
DragonFly BSD is one of our LAB Reference OSes

pkg install -y mate mate-desktop mate-common
pkg install -y xfce xfce4-desktop thunar-archive-plugin
pkg install -y gnome3 gnome-desktop
pkg install -y kde5
pkg install -y lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings

We don't change GTK2 Platform, MATE desktop based on GTK2.
It's the first installation of CodeTyphon on this PC, so we install "system libraries" select "0".
Select "8" to build all...
Finally
CTCenter and Typhon64 for GTK2
