Hi Chase,
It’s not just UnixWare - all systems based on SVR4 inherited this behavior
(e.g., see https://www.mail-archive.com/bug-automake@gnu.org/msg04745.html for
OpenSolaris). CDE worked well on these systems. They were, in fact, the
reference platforms for CDE. I am offering to support these
I just did some light research, and it appears that unixware is the one in the
wrong with this issue, rm -f not outputting diagnostics info is POSIX, so
unixware needs to conform to posix. We are CDE, the common desktop environment,
therefor we need to use the common standards.

Have you tried reporting any of these issues to the GNU project? I feel like
reporting/fixing it upstream would be significantly less of a time sync and
would be beneficial for everyone to have the makefiles be posix compliant and
such.
Thank you for your time,
-Chase

Hi Chase,
I ran autoreconf on Linux and copied it over to my UnixWare system. After
manually patching the ‘configure' script to work around new build requirements
like Xinerama, pkg-config, and freetype, the build fails because it tries
calling the am—refresh target and it can’t find aclocal. T
