Hmm…if you have a writeup of what you did to build Motif and then CDE, I can certainly take a shot at replicating it on my T5240, although it may be next week before I can get much done; didn’t realize the scarcity of modern SPARC in hands free to use it as they wished. :-) (I’ve way too many

You’re quite right, I didn’t have that package installed. It quite surprises me that a full desktop install didn’t include even the motif lib and headers anymore. :-/ Do we know whether a build of CDE should work with the vendor Motif libs? And are either of those packages available for SPARC?

I have an IPS openmotif package available that installs to "/opt/SMM/openmotif" and a IPS package of the current CDE snapshot that uses that installed version of openmotif. Did you have the Oracle version of "pkg:/library/motif" installed? There are a lot of files in that package that conflict

[cdesktopenv-devel] [PATCH] Fix FreeBSD 10.1 build

2014-11-19 Thread Ulrich Wilkens
This patch fixes build problems on FreeBSD 10.1. Imake doesn't use the traditional mode of cpp any longer if cpp is part of clang. The new clang-cpp ignores stringification (#) and token pasting (##) under some conditions and therefore is no longer compatible with CDE's build system. The patch
