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.
Previously in the imake world, changing the CDE version required hand
editing a handful of files.
This commit makes these files into ".in" files. configure.ac now
holds CDE version information -- both in the AC_INIT() call and in the
CDE_VERSION_* variables a few lines down.
Changing the CDE version now involves editing those two locations in
configure.ac only.
Thereafter, a configure run will replace version information in the
following files with the current CDE version:
copyright
doc/common/help/HELPEnt.sgm
include/Dt/Dt.h
lib/tt/bin/ttauth/ttauth.man
This also causes a catch-22 problem with ToolTalk. So the
tooltalk.inc file is gone and the relevant TT Makefiles have been
modified to set and define the TT version in those Makefiles that
actually use it.
Shell isn't portable, so upstream ksh93 has a "flat" function that we can use
to put binaries in a static place that doesn't require a shell command. We still
do need an intermediate setup.sh shell script due to a bug in ksh that object
files aren't being put in lib, and FEATURE not in include. We also cut out some
unused symbols, and a hpux specific implementation of dynlib (new hpux should
conform to the posix implementation anyhow.)
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.
