Upcoming release

Jon Trulson — 2013-05-24T19:10:52

Hi, we are planning another release to occur next Thursday, May 30th.

We are going to be bold and call it a beta.  :)

I have a patch for basic Xinerama support to add.

Also, I will be committing a patch enabling tirpc for all Linux
builds.

This should avoid the need to run rpcbind in insecure mode - but I
don't know whether all linuxen support this yet.  I guess we will find
out.  You will need to install (on debian and derivatives) the
libtirpc-dev package.

If anyone has any other patches they'd like to see in the beta, feel
free to post them.

building cde on debian squeeze

alessandro basili — 2013-04-15T06:16:31

Dear all,

I have a debian/squeeze-64bit running on a VM (vbox 4.2.4r81684)

I have built the whole package following the wiki:

http://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/LinuxBuild/

and this blog:

http://andarazoroflove.org/cde-linux-install-step-by-step-on-debian-squeeze-32bit/

I manage to start dtcalc and I followed istructions to install and run
it as a single user.

Unfortunately when I execute /usr/dt/bin/Xsession as suggested for
single user's instructions I get the startup screen with a terminal
superimposed and nothing else. The hourglass is shown, but nothing happens.

This is my /var/dt/Xerrors where a segfault is shown (together with some
errors):



Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks a lot,

Al

Dtpad server crash when closing editor window associated with primary document

alx — 2013-04-04T18:40:10

When dtpad is started in server mode CreateFirstPad doesn't clone initial  
resources like it happens for all subsequent document instances that are  
created using FindOrCreatePad. When a window associated with primary  
document is being closed RestoreInitialServerResources ends up freeing  
invalid pointer raising SIGABRT. Please see attachment for proposed patch.------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[PATCH] Build dtksh on more OSs

Ulrich Wilkens — 2013-03-29T16:41:19

Hello,

here's the announced patch for dtksh. It allows building on many
more platforms.

The patch has been tested on:

- FreeBSD 9.0 i386 + amd64
- FreeBSD >= 9.1 i386 + amd64
- OpenBSD 5.1 i386
- Xubuntu 12.04 i386 + amd64
- Debian Squeeze 6.0 i386   *)
- Fedora 17 i386

On other linux distributions it may also work.


*) The ksh of Debian Squeeze (ksh93s) seems to be broken. Dtksh cannot
    be build with this version. I installed the ksh package from Debian
    Wheezy (ksh93u) and then it's ok.

FreeBSD - Fix compiling on 8.3-RELEASE (utmpx.h)

Karsten Pedersen — 2013-02-25T21:24:29

Hi all,

Another patch I have found whilst digging around my HD...
The following patch will allow CDE to build on FreeBSD 8.3 (Still in production).The issue being that FreeBSD versions before 9 only have utmp.h rather than utmpx.h
Not sure if it is a good solution but it might be nice to keep CDE compiling on older versions of operating systems.
Best regards,
Karsten

Removing the coloured box around workspacebuttons

Karsten Pedersen — 2013-02-25T21:07:43

Hi all,

Thought I should send this patch into the mailing list before I lose it again.

Using the default colour pallet, there used to be a green box around the workspace buttons. The following patch removes this as shown in the following screenshot.

http://oi49.tinypic.com/205a15c.jpg


As I recall, the colour used to be based on the same as the toolbar of other windows.

Karsten

poll: build system for CDE

Oleksiy Ch — 2013-02-05T22:49:13

Hello guys,

Let me raise one question: what is a best preferred build system you consider for CDE and in general?
I address this question to people having experience with maintaining *nix software in general and writing code in particular.

Generally should CDE stay with Imake or move to other solution keeping simple as possible. Ugly gnu auto* or hand made simple and elegant configure ?
What is your choice and vision? Please share your thoughts.

Thanks,
Alex Che

porting on Autotools initiative

Oleksiy Ch — 2013-02-03T19:43:32

HI,

I examined CDE it contains ancient Imakefiles. I think it must be ported on Autotools as Motif did, but in a more wise way. I made some work in this way. Currently I have lib dir ported on autotools completely. Actually the main thing is configure.ac, it's 95% of code. It absorbed much from config/cf/*. So with configure.ac the core part of porting is done. Current configure.ac makes checks but don't abort on check fail. It's temporary.


Patch in attachment.

Dtrun

Robert Tomsick — 2012-11-29T05:24:59

Dtrun.  It runs things.  It's nice to bind to Alt-F2.  It's plain X/Motif. 
It's under the MIT license.

Tarball here: http://www.tomsick.net/projects/dtrun.html

Also, I know I don't have fallback resources, etc. set up properly.  My 
motivation to screw around with stuff like that kinda tails off once it 
reaches the "works for me" stage.  To that end, patches or 
sufficiently-motivating insults are welcome. ;)

BSD licensed contributions?

Robert Tomsick — 2012-11-27T22:35:36

I know that the project requests that contributions be made under the MIT 
license, but I was wondering whether 2-clause or 3-clause BSD would be an 
appropriate alternative.

I read the section on licensing and why MIT is requested -- and from that 
it would seem that those BSD licenses would be fine for future relicensing 
(since they're obviously compatible with the LGPL, etc.) but I just wanted 
to double check.

Thanks,
Rob

Fix memory fault in instant(1) with OpenBSD'smalloc(3) 'S'

Subject: [PATCH] Keep track of the length of the string in ExpandVariables().

On OpenBSD, the 'S' option to malloc(3) enables guard pages (among other
things).  This loop could have triggered this trap when reading beyond the
buffer.  Also, the whole "while(*ip)" construct was based on the assumption that
the memory after the string is always zero-filled.
