xorg-fonts-misc is a missing dependency. CDE won't start without this package installed.

And it seems that setting LANG=C is no longer needed in startcdesession.sh.

updated to 2.5.3...

@mikearch I am able to build the -git package. The current release will not build with new MESA due to the new C attribute annotation hardening. I have posted the diffs on the page for the -git package.

Where to start...it will not build. Here is a pastebin

I could only make 2.5.1-1 build by changing in src/code/cde/programs/dtterm/Makefile:

tic dtterm.ti

to

sudo tic dtterm.ti

Then I rebuilt it with:

makepkg -RL

I asssume that the person doing the build checks is running make with sudo, so the permission error won't show up for them.

yay is complaining that dtterm isn't installed along with other dt programs. my understanding was installing ksh from the aur should install these?

It seems like this package requires the separate installation of the "libxpm" and "libxaw" packages in order to correctly build. Are there currently any plans to add these packages to the build dependencies?

Here's a patch to update the package to 2.5.1:

Answering myself on:

cp: cannot stat '/usr/dt/share/cde/fontaliases/mixed.alias': No such file or directory

This seems to be now fixed in cde v2.5.1

shaurz commented on 2022-10-03 13:39 (UTC)

Needs xorg-mkfontscale and xorg-bdftopcf adding to build dependencies.
