Compiles and runs on Fedora 40. I didn't notice the git link when I initially came to this page so I tried at first using the sourceforge tarball. For anyone who's curious, it does not compile, while the git version does with no trouble at all.

Below should cover all the deps:

yum install libtool m4 automake pam-devel libutempter-dev libXp-devel libXt-devel libXmu-devel libXft-devel libXinerama-devel libXpm-devel motif-devel libXaw-devel libX11-devel libtirpc-dev xset sessreg xrdb libjpeg-turbo-devel freetype-devel openssl-devel tcl-devel ksh ncompress patch xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi bison flex xorg-x11-xbitmaps opensp libXrender-dev lmdb-dev libXdmcp-devel libXScrnSaver-devel rpcgen bdftopcf

I've cloned and compiled hyousatsu's master. It now works. Consider this ticket closed.

Could you create a ticket and describe the issue in detail?

Still not working...

I did like this. I installed Debian 12 using the netinstall iso, From the packages I only selected base, after the install, I installed xorg, firefox-esr, mwm, alsa-utils udisks2

After restarting the computer, I followed the instructions on this website. And everything compiled without problem.

By the way, I would advise you to check the system language....In CDE versions 2.5.0 and later, the only required language is en_US.UTF-8.

Yeah, still not working. I think there is a problem with fonts.

Hello.

If you followed the instructions on the wiki, CDE compiles normally. But there is another problem that I described here

If you install Debian 12 without DE. Install dependent packages. Compile CDE. Nothing will work. Do not run CDE according to these instructions
