Notes on building on Slackware 14.0

Notes on building CDE 2.2.2 on Slackware 14.0 (i686)

• a newer ksh is needed than the one packaged in Slackware 14.0 in order to build dtksh; which is strange, because the provided ksh is from 2010 (not so ancient). Anyway, a version higher than 93t+ is needed. Personally, I installed version 93u+ (2012) via pkgsrc (package ast-ksh);

• bdftopcf is also needed ( in /usr/bin ), so 'slackpkg install bdftopcf';

• package printproto is needed: 'slackpkg install printproto';

• I deviated from the instructions for building CDE on Slackware, in that I didn't install OpenMotif via SlackBuilds, because I had Motif 2.3.4 (not OpenMotif) already installed via pkgsrc. Happily, this didn't cause problems;

• I still haven't been able to build dtcm. It's the only component I'm missing. Relevant part of the build log:

  ../../../exports/lib/libcsa.so: undefined reference to `registerrpc'
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  make[4]: *** [dtcm] Error 1
  make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/ydeg/cde-2.2.2/programs/dtcm/dtcm'
  

I do have an external function registerrpc defined in file '/usr/include/tirpc/rpc/rpc.h'; maybe this file isn't being included?

Could you check your build about issue, described in topic:

That doesn't seem to be related.
