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.
Such environments are missing void type, older K&R C, and
such supports already had been removed in various places.
Furthermore, current hardcoded 'SIGNALRETURNSINT' is wrong.
This commit will not completely remove all Imake files, specifically
those for sections that have not been completed yet.
Also, the databases dir has been moved to databases-delete-later until
we have everything building and installed properly.
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.

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.
Certain programs like dtlogin and tt_type_comp need access to the
system's cpp command to process certain files at runtime. tradcpp is
not installed on most systems, and is intended for use as a imake-cpp
replacement which is all we are using it for. We still need an
honest cpp for the CDE components to use.
Now, we look in various places for a 'cpp' command and set CPP_COMMAND
to it's value. This way tt_type_comp and other CDE programs can do
required processing at runtime.
There is a problem with CPP_PROGRAM - using $CPP or $GENCPP (tradcpp)
always fails in tt_type_comp with the error:
"nclude ", line 8: syntax error
If I define it to /lib/cpp (previous hardcoded value) then it seems to
work fine. Only the dtinfo and dtinfo_start ptypes use #include, and
therefore show this error. Needs investigation.
Also, restructure some of the dependencies in the lib/tt binaries. We
will link with libtt (which will include libtirpc as a dependency),
and XTOOLLIB - all the right X11 stuff without needing to add it to
every OS. Removed several uneeded OS specializations ("if LINUX",
etc) as a result.
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...
Some files were trying to access the global includes directy in the
build area with things like #include <api/c/tt_c.h>, which is now
wrong. Se we fix all of those up. tt_c.h and tttk.h are now global,
so we no longer need to root around various build dirs to find them.
TT builds again.
Redo the way the main CDE libs are specified in configure.ac... The
current way could not work due to evaluation issues, and the fact that
variables like $srcdir and the like are only valid in Makefiles, not
configure.
Use @LIBNAME@ rather then $(LIBNAME) in Makefile.am files - this way
the location is always evaluated when it's run, not in configure -
which can't work for a variety of reasons.
Got some of the TT binaries to build.
Made a new include/cppfile.inc file that can be used to pre-process
files. The downside is that currently you can only pre-process one
file at a time per Makefile. Something more robust is needed, but at
least tt/bin/shell now builds. Will need to come up with a better way.
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!
