Jon Trulson 1fda5afcc2 dtappbuilder: try to fix a dep error causeing every make to rebuild
With the addition of dtappbuilder to autotools, every make run
(including make install) causes src/ab to regenerate files that cause
the whole directory to be recompiled, even on a 'make install'.

This seems to be primarily caused by dtbuilder.msg (and possibly
dtbuilder.c) being modified after it is generated, which is apparently
normal behavior for dtcodegen.

This fix sets both dtbuilder.msg and dtbuilder.c as "order-dependant
prequisites" so that they are always generated first (there are
already rules to do generate them) and then subsequently the only
thing required is that they exist since we don't care if they are
modified after that point.  If you need to make changes to them, edit
their respective .src files instead.

This seems to resolve the issue, but perhaps at the expense of adding
another requirement to use gmake.

We also need to disable parallel building in this module :(

CDE - The Common Destop Environment

In 2012, CDE was opensourced under the terms of the LGPL V2 license by the Open Group.

You may reuse and redistribute this code under the terms of this license. See the COPYING file for details.

Downloading

Downloading this release:

CDE may be downloaded in source form from the Common Desktop Environment website:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdesktopenv/

Or via git:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/cdesktopenv/code CDE

The git repository will always be more up to date than the downloadable tarballs we make available, so if you have problems, please try the latest version from git master.

Note also that the master branch may be unstable, so your milage may vary.

Compiling

Complete build and installation instructions can be found on the CDE wiki:

http://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/Home/

Please go there and read the appropriate section(s) for your OS (Linux or FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD currently) prior to attmpting to build it.

There are a variety of dependencies that must be met, as well as specific set up steps required to build, especially relating localization and locales.

Do not expect to just type 'make' and have it actually work without meeting the prerequisites and following the correct steps as spelled out on the wiki.

There are also a lot of other documents and information there that you might find useful.

Assuming you've met all of the requirements regarding packages needed for the build, you can follow the standard autoconf method:

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

NOTE: BSD users must currently install and use gmake to compile, as well as specify the location of the TCL libraries and headers. So the instructions for them would looke like:

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.6 MAKE="gmake"
$ gmake
$ sudo gmake install
