Previously we would fail in some parts of the code if we did not have a
premade configuration, now we use any code that was marked as Linux, BSD and
Solaris as our basis in order to support building unknown Unix systems.
CDE has relied upon catgets() implementations following a relaxed
interpretation of the XPG internationalization standard that ignored
-1, the standard error value returned by catopen, as the catalog
argument. However, this same behavior causes segmentation faults with
the musl C library.
This patch:
- Centralizes (with the exception of ToolTalk) all calls to catopen(),
catgets(), and catclose() through MsgCat within the DtSvc library.
- Prevents calls to catgets() and catclose() that rely upon
undefined behavior.
- Eliminates a number of bespoke catgets() wrappers, including multiple
redundant caching implementations designed to work around a design
peculiarity in HP/UX.
- Eases building CDE without XPG internationalization support by providing
the appropriate macros.
So this is going to be tricky/painful getting this parser fully
operational. It's pretty hairy with various interdependencies and
generated code.
It's rather complicated how each sub dir depends on the previous one.
Also, the parser subdir has dependencies on the helptag subdir, and
vice-versa, so some hackery was needed to get that to work.
Due to the wierd interdepencencies between helptag and parser,
we disable parallel builds there.
This is some really horrible code and design - not surprising since it
dates to 1989.
I think it should just be removed -- who can maintain or refactor this
code?
Also, dthelp_htag1 is now built in pass1/parser/, not in
pass1/helptag/ as it used to be.
At this stage, these certainly won't actually build yet.
Just fix up the relevent Makefile.am files so that autogen does not
emit errors and warnings for them.
Removed AIX/HPUX support in Makefile.am files. No point in
propogating that stuff when we've already removed much of that
unmaintained code from the codebase.
Commented out all of the Sun Pro stuff. Someone whos using that will
need to go through and fix it. This is mostly in dtmail and dthelp.
In fact, someone who does Solaris in general will need to go through
this stuff.
Next up, we'll replace any remaining 'if SUN' conditionals with 'if
SOLARIS' which is a more appropriate name and was already defined in
configure.ac.
Then we'll see about getting these new directories building.
