programs/dtwm/Dtwm.defs.src: Update default Dtwm backdrop
localized/*/app-defaults/Dtwm.tmsg: Update translations to reflect change
For CDE users with sufficiently high resolution screens, the abrupt
transition towards the end of the default SkyLight backdrop image bore
a close enough resemblance to graphical corruption to spur bug
reports. This problem likely did not manifest to the original CDE
developers using the typical monitors of the 1990s.
This patch changes the default backdrop to KnitLight, which comports
well with CDE's low distraction UI while still offering something
visually interesting enough to showcase CDE's support for bitmap
backdrops. Because of the repeating pattern within KnitLight, this
problem will not occur in the future. Additionally, SkyLight will be
retained as a CDE backdrop.
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.
Docs (help and the dtinfo guides) are now always built using the
ISO8859-1 locale. To support UTF-8, our docbook needs to be updated
to something from this century, ideally this decade. In addition, a
conversion to XML would also be required as a result. So, until that
happens, use ISO8859-1 for docs.
However, other locale information, like message catalogs, resource
files, and the like are now converted to UTF-8.
All supported languages are now built by default on linux again.
In addition:
- moved video type detection into a separate file: videoTypes.dt out
of datatypes.dt. Also, removed all actions from Antonis' dt files,
as these are handled by the new actions (listed below).
Image, postscript, and PDF types definitions are still located in
datatypes.dt.src
- supports most image files, PDFs, postscript files, and video files
via dtapp now.
- Added new actions:
- DisplayImage
- DisplayVideo
- DisplayPDF
- DisplayPS
All of these call the dtapp_* helpers to locate an appropriate
program to handle the task.
- Added a camera icon
- standardized the icons used to display the various types - all
images use the Dtimage icon now, as an example.
- moved the new *.dt files to their proper place in programs/types,
rather than programs/localized/C/types (my bad).
Please add any further video types into videoTypes.dt, and everything
else (for now) into datatypes.dt.
In the future, we should probably separate these out into
type-specific .dt files. Also, something should be done about playing
audio files too (maybe DisplayVideo.dt can handle all those too?)
dtmail: messages of the 'Mail Retrieval' menu of dtmail were left untranslated.
French, Italian, Spanish translations were added.
vcal2xapia.awk: capacity to handle UTC+n timezones and TODO items added.
This patch fixes many warnings from the beginning of the build up to
and including the depend stage. Nearly all warnings should be gone
even with -Wall.
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.
Use the same set of langs as on Linux and FreeBSD (no Japanese), don't
redefine a needed macro as no-op, and unset LC_CTYPE in the environment
when building cat files.
We need to use mkcatdefs to build those.
mkcatdefs needs to be built from the open motif
source tree (localized/util/mkcatdefs.c)
and installed as:
cde/imports/motif/localized/util/mkcatdefs
BSD make interrupts shell pipeline after
if it cannot run the command:
rm -f Mrm.msg
ln -s ../../../../imports/motif/localized/de_DE.ISO8859-1/msg/Mrm.msg Mrm.msg
Running mkcatdefs for Mrm.cat with LANG set to de_DE.ISO8859-1
( rm -f Mrm.cat Mrm.tmp.msg; LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-1; export LANG; ../../../../imports/motif/localized/util/mkcatdefs Mrm Mrm.msg -h > Mrm.tmp.msg; gencat Mrm.cat Mrm.tmp.msg; rm -f Mrm.tmp.msg )
../../../../imports/motif/localized/util/mkcatdefs: not found
*** Error code 127
After this, an empty Mrm.tmp.msg is left.
Introduce KORNSHELL make variable to point
to the implementation of the Korn Shell.
Use $(SHELL) or $(KORNSHELL) explicitly for
make programs that do not automatically call
shell scripts from the current directory.
