Hi,
make dist
This sounds like a potential solution to problem #2 I mentioned in your
thread regarding using submodules.
Forgot all about that :)
I'll check it out, and maybe we can revisit using a submodule for ksh.

Greetings.
I opened a merge request with two commits that fix |make dist|release
tarball generation from a clean tree.
https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/code/merge-requests/87/
The first commit fixes build-system dependency issues:
* Some files included in the release tarball are generated from
helper programs built inside the CDE source tree.
* A plain |make dist|can reach those generated files before the
required helper binaries have been built.
* This caused failures around generated files such as
|UNIXbindings|, |TermLineData.c|, and later the dtdocbook helper
programs.
The patch makes the top-level |dist|target depend on |all|, so the
generated files and helper programs are available before the dist
directory is created.
It also adds explicit dependencies for two smaller generated-source cases:
* |lib/DtWidget/UNIXbindings|now explicitly depends on
|util/tradcpp/tradcpp|.
* |lib/DtTerm/Term/TermLineData.c|now explicitly depends on
|lib/DtTerm/util/lineToData|.
The same commit also fixes an Automake issue in
|programs/dtdocbook/doc_utils|. Several helper programs there are not
built from local source files; they are built in |../infolib|and
symlinked into |doc_utils|. Without explicit empty
|_SOURCES|declarations, Automake assumes default source files such as
|MixedGen.c|, |NCFGen.c|, etc. Those files do not exist locally, so
|make dist|eventually fails trying to distribute them.
The second commit fixes malformed Traditional Chinese message catalog
sources:
* |zh_TW.UTF-8/msg/dtcodegen.msg|contained the translated message
text, but the |gencat|syntax had been lost. It was missing the
normal |$quote|, |$set|, message numbers, and quoted message format.
* The number of translated lines matched the canonical source
message count, so I restored the catalog syntax while preserving
the existing translated text.
* |zh_TW.UTF-8/msg/dthello.msg|already had the right general
structure, but contained a stray standalone quote near the top and
an unterminated final message. Those two syntax errors prevented
|gencat|from producing |dthello.cat|.
After these fixes, I verified the result by running:
|./autogen.sh|
|./configure --disable-docs|
|make dist|
The command completed successfully and produced |cde-2.5.3.tar.gz|.
I kept the fixes split into two commits intentionally:
1. Build-system fixes for generated-source dependencies.
2. Message catalog syntax fixes for the zh_TW locale.
This keeps the build graph changes separate from the localization
source fixes and should make review easier.
