Strange how this specific submodule didn't work, but the rest did.
After deleting the dtksh directory and removing any references to
dtksh from three other files, I compiled CDE without issue. CDE knows
my shell is set to /bin/bash, no errors so far. So I'm still not sure
what why need dtksh if it's able to boot into CDE without error if I
can compile without dtksh. Is there something specific that CDE does
that it can't know about the other shells like the other ksh I have
already installed, bash, dash, tcsh, or any other installed shell?
dtksh is a part of CDE, though it is not used during the build. It is a
product of the build - it let's you write CDE Dt/Motif/X11 programs in
ksh. Google it, there are resources out there.

You need to do a recursive checkout of the repository and we use
ksh93 as a submodule...
so a
git clone --recursive ...
Or if you already cloned CDE w/o the above option, do a:
git submodule update --init
in the checked out sources
We build ksh93 as a part of dtksh...
And yes, I would love to get rid of the requirement to have ksh
installed in order to build CDE itself, but we will always need to
build our own for dtksh.

I already have ksh installed under /bin in my distro. I had to
download from github ksh93 because the sourceforge git didn't
come with it and the patch as part of compilation failed to apply
to be able to compile it and resulted with an error. Is there
anything mandatory that ksh93 does for CDE? Can we remove it and
just have the already installed ksh do the work instead?
