With this patch, CDE (autotools) builds and runs on fbsd 12 now.
fbsd11 should work too, but not yet tested.
You must use gmake - ie:
./configure MAKE=gmake
gmake
Seems all of the BSD's will need to use gmake for now.
cppfile.inc - don't set BUIT_SOURCES or CLEANFILES here as they
overwrite (or in case of the CLEANFILES +=...) ignore the settings.
Do those in the Makefile.am always.
We still need a better way to preprocess generic files. cppfile.inc
will only work for one file per Makefile...
Ok - so one of the steps in building CDE is an early phase called the
includes phase (make includes). At this point, all of the public
header files are exported to exports/include/Dt, DtI, ...
Then, the software is built using that include dir.
This of course does not work in autotools. Much of the software does
things like #include <Dt/something.h>, so in order for the build to
succeed, this behavior must be represented/replicated in some way.
It seems the usual way of dealing with this is to place all public
headers (and in some projects, ALL headers) into a toplevel include
directory.
We now do this for all public headers - they have been moved from
wherever they were and placed in the appropriate spot in includes/
This will break the Imake 'make includes' phase unless the Imakefiles
are fixed (remove the HEADERS = stuff, and the incdir defines). This
has not been done at this point since in reality, once autotools works
properly, there will be no need for the Imake stuff anymore, and I
intend to get rid of it.
This is just a warning for now - Imake builds in this tree will now
fail at the 'includes' stage.
This commit is only the migration. In upcoming commits, libtt will be
fixed so that the hack being used before to get around this problem is
removed as there will no longer be any need.
And then the autotools work continues...
This should allow an autoregen and ./confiure to work. We only
generate Makefiles for lib/* and ./Makefile for now. We'll ad more as
we go along.
Make still fails as we need to figure out TT - tirpc lib, rpcgen,
etc. But it's a start!
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.
- Add missing includes and prototypes
- Improve type compatibility
- Use <Xm/XmPrivate.h> for unofficial libXm headers
With this patch, dtpad no longer crashes on startup
on FreeBSD/amd64 because of a truncated 64-bit pointer.
