This adds a basic library and support to dtsession and dtlogin to
support Xinerama/Twinview, where multimple monitors are used to make
up an X11 screen.
The main goal here is to draw dialogs and such centered on a monitor,
rather than spread out over multiple monitors.
Might need to add sorting - as on my test system, what I would
consider monitor 0, appears to actually be monitor 1. So a sort might
need to be added to sort the screens according to increasing x and y
offsets so it make sense to a user.
Also, this library is built statically and not documented. Maybe it
could be 'filled' out and refactored/redesigned in the futre if need
be and suppoerted.
It is enabled via a define, CDE_USEXINERAMA in site.def. It's a very
simple lib, so I do not expect any issues with the BSD's - it should
build and work fine, assuming your X server has the XINERAMA
extension, which I think pretty much all of them do at this point.
According to the spec, blank lines in message catalogs or lines
beginning with '$ ' are valid comments.
However, there were many cases where lines in the message catalogs
contained just a single '$', without the required space after it.
Under linux, this caused 126766 error lines (in my builds) of the
form:
... unknown directive `': line ignored
This also causes gencat to exit with a non-0 exit code. Even though
gencat says it ignores the line, it really doesn't.
An early porting change to programs/localized/util/merge.c was made to
ignore this return value on linux. This hack has now been removed.
Build logs are a lot smaller and cleaner now.
This patch removes instances of hardcoded
invocation of /bin/ksh and allows to
replace it with, for, example,
/usr/local/bin/ksh93
Also "ksh93" is accepted whenever "ksh" is.
Tested using the following /bin/ksh:
----8<----
WHAT=`ps -o command= -p $PPID`
msg="Something tried to call /bin/ksh: $PPID: $WHAT"
print -u2 "$msg"
logger user.warn "$msg"
exit 99
----8<----
(Warning: first two lines are FreeBSD specific)
Scripts from Makefiles should now be executed either
with
$(KORNSHELL) korn-shell-script
or
$(SHELL) bourne-shell-script
therefore #!/bin/ksh has not been changed everywhere.
/usr/dt/bin/ scripts have been converted (e.g. Xsession)
Whenever possible Imake and CPP facilities have been used.
For C and C++ programs KORNSHELL needs to be defined to
"/path/to/your/ksh" (with quotes) so that it can make
a valid C constant.
Therefore, when adding KORNSHELL to Imakefile for C files,
you have to add
CXXEXTRA_DEFINES = -DKORNSHELL=\"$(KORNSHELL)\"
or similar (for example, see programs/dtprintinfo)
But for simple shell script substitution we usually change
LOCAL_CPP_DEFINES = -DCDE_CONFIGURATION_TOP=$(CDE_CONFIGURATION_TOP) \
-DCDE_INSTALLATION_TOP=$(CDE_INSTALLATION_TOP) \
-DCDE_LOGFILES_TOP=$(CDE_LOGFILES_TOP)
to:
LOCAL_CPP_DEFINES = -DCDE_CONFIGURATION_TOP=$(CDE_CONFIGURATION_TOP) \
-DCDE_INSTALLATION_TOP=$(CDE_INSTALLATION_TOP) \
-DCDE_LOGFILES_TOP=$(CDE_LOGFILES_TOP) \
-DKORNSHELL=$(KORNSHELL) \
-DXPROJECTROOT=X11ProjectRoot
since we don't want quotes for shell scripts.
Patch from Pascal Stumpf <Pascal.Stumpf@cubes.de>
The official POSIX name for this signal is SIGCHLD. Linux probably
has SIGCLD only for SysV compatibility, but BSD does not.
In order for this to work, dtsession must be setuid root. If
dtsession is not setuid root, then locking will be disabled, and a
message will be written to ~/.dt/errorlog with the message: "Unable to
lock display due to security restrictions".
Added proper SharedDtSvcReqs in lnxLib.tmpl and CplusplusLibC in
linux.cf. This allows the libstdc++ dependancy to be properly
declared for libDtSvc so that it is not neccessary to hardcode 'CCLINK
= g++' in the Imakefiles of programs linking angainst libDtSvc.
