The OpenMotif issue is fixed upstream. There is still an issue with the PKGBUILD though: 

rm: cannot remove '/home/ekollof/.cache/paru/clone/cdesktopenv-git/pkg/cdesktopenv-git/usr/share/terminfo/d/dtterm': No such file or directory

patch:

Patch to get this to build again (apparently there is some compat drift with openmotif)

It's running on the latest Arch now.

Thanks, is fixed!

b.r commented on 2023-12-08 21:19 (UTC)

Hi, could I please ask about adding opensp as a dependency? I see it was mentioned in the past, and on a fresh Arch Linux container it appears to still be required. I got a build error suggesting I install ONSGMLS.

autinerd commented on 2022-08-26 16:05 (UTC)

Is fixed :)

One of the patche soes no longer apply.

autinerd commented on 2022-06-17 06:11 (UTC)

Hello, I changed the dependencies to use mksh instead of the original ksh (the build is not a big mess, and it's compatible).

@bbaovanc: Yes, I can rename the sh script.

bbaovanc commented on 2022-06-17 00:09 (UTC)

Update: it works for me now on the latest commit. Another thing I noticed: can /usr/bin/startxsession.sh be renamed to something less general, like maybe startcdesession?

bbaovanc commented on 2022-06-05 00:50 (UTC) (edited on 2022-06-05 00:50 (UTC) by bbaovanc)

I had to install opensp just like strangeautomaton said (it should be a git dependency probably). But then I got another error near the end:

Has anyone else seen this? What should I do?
