Hi list,
I tried to build cde on

First of all, the build wiki needs to be updated to honor configure
I was successful to run
./configure --enable-german --enable-french --enable-italian
(I don't need others, I guess jp and gr will work as well)
gencat fails e.g. with
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 gencat dtpad.cat dtpad.msg || rm -f dtpad.cat
dtpad.msg:102: invalid character: message ignored
dtpad.msg:120: invalid character: message ignored
dtpad.msg:153: invalid character: message ignored
I was able to fix this with adding
$ codeset=utf-8
as first line to all affectes msg and tmsg files.
root@pi2:~/cde-2.5.2/programs/localized/de_DE.UTF-8/msg# head -5 dtpad.msg
$ codeset=utf-8
$ $TOG: dtpad.msg /main/20 1999/09/15 14:19:25 mgreess $

Thanks! Pages updated. I removed the old instructions (pre-autotools and pre-UTF8) From the Slackware build page. -jon On 9/15/25 11:17, Edmond Orignac via cdesktopenv-devel wrote: > > Hi Jon, > > The page referencing slackermedia.info is > > https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/SupportedPlatforms/ > > line Slackware 14.0 > > The build instructions for Slackware > > https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/Slackware/ > > could also reference the slackbuild script. > > Best, > > Edmond > > > Le 14/09/2025 à 21:14, Jon Trulson a écrit : >> >> Hi Edmond, >> >> Can you tell me what page this slackermedia.info is?

Hi Jon, The page referencing slackermedia.info is https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/SupportedPlatforms/ line Slackware 14.0 The build instructions for Slackware https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/Slackware/ could also reference the slackbuild script.

Hi Edmond, Can you tell me what page this slackermedia.info is? I do not see it on the Slackware page at: https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/Slackware/ I have no idea what's been tested in that regard, so I'm more than happy to added a newer slackbuild link. -jon On 9/14/25 06:17, Edmond Orignac via cdesktopenv-devel wrote: > > There is a Slackbuild (shell script to build CDE on Slackware) by > Dan-Simon Myrland <mailto:dansimon at radiotube dot org> at > > https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/desktop/cde/ > > on Slackbuilds.org.

There is a Slackbuild (shell script to build CDE on Slackware) by Dan-Simon Myrland <mailto:dansimon at radiotube dot org> at https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/desktop/cde/ on Slackbuilds.org. The script uses autotools to build for 32bit and 64bit Intel (but not ARM). The Wiki points to an older slackbuild script from slackermedia.info that was created in 2021. Has the slackermedia.info script been tested with recent (post autotools) sources ? If not, it would be useful to point to the more recent script. |

Have you tried switching with ctrl-alt-F9 already? you should see your dtlogin there. If it's not running there, have a look at the X-Server logs. If it goes down, you should find a reason there. |

I don't have a FreeBSD box on hand to check, but is it supposed to be on VT1? I thought X traditionally took VT7.

Hello! I have a VM with FreeBSD and cde-devel from ports. If I hit Ctrl+Alt+F2 and then go back to F1, dtlogin is gone and the normal console login prompt is there. Is that a feature or is something faulty? -- kind regards Marco Send unsolicited bulk mail to 174...@st... |

Hi,
I have made some progress on the origin of the segmentation fault when
using XmTextFieldSetString $TEXT0 "string" in a dtksh script.
Running the script with LANG=C does not produce a segfault, but with the
locale LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
dtksh segfaults. It looks like a problem with dtksh handling of strings
in XmTextFieldSetString in (some ?)
UTF-8 locales since I haven't seen the same problem with xmaddressbook
that also uses XmTextSetString. A simple workaround is to add LANG=C
just after #!/usr/dt/bin/dtksh.

I have noticed a curious behavior in dtcreate when trying to bing icon selection of application file selection popups. Clicking on the button to search for an icon brings a popup window 'Create action search', but the window remains empty. It does not react to clicks or keyboard presses and does not close when pressing Alt+F4 or selecting Close in the Window menu. Trying to close dtcreate by Alt+F4 brings a selection menu asking whether to close without saving, close with saving or cancel close. But this menu never gets the focus, only the empty icon search menu does. the ps -elf output gives 0 S edmond 11145 10753 0 80 0 - 7712 do_pol 10:13 pts/3 00:00:00 dtcreate dtcreate can then be killed with signal 3 or 15. Under gdb, stopping dtcreate by Ctrl-C when the popup for icon selection is opened gives a backtrace 0 0x00007ffff776fb97 in poll () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007ffff7a05991 in _XtWaitForSomething () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXt.so.6 #2 0x00007ffff7a07438 in XtAppProcessEvent () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXt.so.6 #3 0x00007ffff79fc49b in XtAppMainLoop () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXt.so.6 #4 0x000055555555b026 in main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at main.c:1542 line 1542 in main.c does some tooltalk calls, but this is probably a red herring. The icon search path seems correct, XMICONBMSEARCHPATH=/home/edmond/.dt/icons/%B%M.bm:/home/edmond/.dt/icons/%B%M.pm:/home/edmond/.dt/icons/%B:/etc/dt/appconfig/icons/%L/%B%M.bm:/etc/dt/appconfig/icons/%L/%B%M.pm:/etc/dt/appconfig/icons/%L/%B:/etc/dt/appconfig/icons/C/%B%M.bm:/etc/dt/appconfig/icons/C/%B%M.pm:/etc/dt/appconfig/icons/C/%B:/usr/dt/appconfig/icons/%L/%B%M.bm:/usr/dt/appconfig/icons/%L/%B%M.pm:/usr/dt/appconfig/icons/%L/%B:/usr/dt/appconfig/icons/C/%B%M.bm:/usr/dt/appconfig/icons/C/%B%M.pm:/usr/dt/appconfig/icons/C/%B There is a similar bug with the menu used to associate a filetype to the application, with the popup being also an unreactive empty window that cannot be closed. CDE was compiled from the current git version on march 12, 2025. The last change to dtcreate from git log was on 9/9/2024 to fix an issue with popups. system: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) x86_64 X.Org version: 1.21.1.4 gcc: 11.4.0 |

Hi CDE users,
I was inspired from Mint Cinamon's behavior when using the function keys
for volume control and the resulting visual feedback.
I thought it might be nice to have something similar for CDE, so I wrote
the following script, named it volstat, make it executalbe put it in my
PATH (It opens a popup window that closes itself after 3 seconds):
------------------ Start script -----------------------
#!/usr/dt/bin/dtksh

dtterm definitely has some issues with UTF-8. Would be great if it
could be fixed properly.

In dtterm's case, I think it's a problem with dtterm itself. I found
that many UTF8 symbols worked fine in dtpad for example.

You can enable other languages during the build - see ./configure --help
output. You can enable the German locale with --enable-german on the
configure command line. Of course you should have the de_DE.UTF8 locale
installed before building. By default, only the English locale
(en_US.UTF-8) locale is built, with link to the C locale.
Ideally we would get XFT with truetype fonts working, but that's likely
a big job, and no one wants to do it :)

Hello! I am using cde-current on FreeBSD. I selected en_US.UTF-8 in the dtlogin, but I see that non-latin characters (e.g. Cyrillic) are not displayed properly in dterm (and maybe others). German umlauts work when en_US.UTF-8 is being selected instead of C. Is that a problem of the language/charset setting or is that simply not supported? Is it possible to provide additional charsets for login and $LANG, like de_DE.UTF-8? -- kind regards Marco Send unsolicited bulk mail to 174...@st... |

Hello! I switched to another virtual console and after that the background and certain window bars are black. After moving a window, they are being redrawn. I am running the port 2.5.2_5 on Freebsd 14.2. Is that an issue of CDE or another parts of the OS? -- kind regards Marco Send unsolicited bulk mail to 174...@st... |

Some mice have more than 3 buttons. Although Xlib.h doesn't provide definitions for these buttons, button 6 to 9 is reported through the XButtonEvent struct. This adds support for mapping actions to mouse button 6 to 9. |

I am unsure if this is a bug in dtksh or if I am using an illegal
instruction.
The program below terminates with a segmentation fault error when I try
to use it.
The segmentation fault arises when the script executes the instructions
XmTextFieldSetString.
changing editable:false to editable:true in XmCreateTextField does not
change anything.
I have also tried to replace XmTextFieldSetString with
XmTextFieldGetLastPosition /XmTextFieldReplace, but the segmentation
fault remains.
I am not sure if this is a bug in dtksh or if I am using an incorrect
method to modify the value of the TextField widget that only worked
because of a bug in dtksh.
I remember the program has worked on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and older version
of CDE,
but my current system is Linux Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with CDE 2.5.2.
