I'm trying to build CDE from the git repository on FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE (while successfully having built on 10.0-RELEASE) and am running into imake errors when attempting to build on 10.1-RELEASE.
Would there be any way to resolve them?
Thanks in advance!

Building Release 2.2.2 of CDE
I hope you checked the configuration parameters in ./config/cf
to see if you need to pass BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS.

cd ./config/imake && make -f Makefile.ini BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS="" clean
I think I've found the reason for the problem:
With FreeBSD 10.1 clang has been updated to version 3.4.1. Among other things
they've changed the behavior of cpp's traditional mode. Now stringification (#)
and token pasting (##) are ignored under some conditions.
Since both are heavily used by CDE it's no longer possible to use traditional mode
together with clang. Fortunately non-traditional mode also works with only a few
patches.
I have CDE running on FreeBSD 10.1 now and can submit the patches soon.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
