I have pushed my work in progress (which is somewhat usable
to me) to my repository clone at

  http://sourceforge.net/u/saperski/cde-freebsd/

You can clone this repository using:

  git clone git://git.code.sf.net/u/saperski/cde-freebsd 

During "make World" the build may stop in the doc/ directory.
In this case just continue with "make"

Of course I hope that soon this repository will not be needed
at all and the regular master can be used.

Changes included not yet in the master repository:

$ git log build ^master
commit de656bb4e7caec0a3b765a151885608bf33af003
Author: Marcin Cieslak <sa...@saper.info>
Date:   Sun Aug 19 15:55:13 2012 +0200

    Fix warnings in dtwm
    
    - Improve pointer/int compatibility
    - Include unpublished Motif and Dt headers in Xm and Dt
    
    There are still warnings left generated because
    ElementValue.parsed_value should really be a union.
    
    There are also some warnings left because of XtPointer
    casting and some unused variables and functions.

    FreeBSD: Early support for the installer
    
    This is work in progress - please
    do not merge into master yet.
    
    Note to users: please check
    if you are affected by awk bug
    in udbParseLib.awk if you can.

commit 27971eeada7344e932dacd48cb4bdb7079fae1aa

    DtWidget: Improve portability of Motif interface
    
    - Add missing includes and prototypes
    - Import unofficial libXm headers into "Xm" directory
    - Improve type compatibility
    
    With this patch, dtpad no longer crashes on startup
    on FreeBSD/amd64 because of a truncated 64-bit pointer.


Please treat this as a work in progress, nothing stable
or even fully working - but reports are welcome.
I have posted few known issues already to this mailing list:

TT_ERR_PROCID with dtmail/dtpad
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.desktop.cde.devel/412

I would also welcome reports of testing of the alleged
awk problem mentioned in:
