I'm setting up a new i386 8.0 VBox as we speak and will try to fiddle with
the build tomorrow. The main cf file will need some major rework as it has
a lot of stuff unnecessarily hardcoded, which dooms the whole attempt as
soon as you try something as nefarious as bootstrapping pkgsrc somewhere

We can add CentOS to the list of supported platforms. The build went very
well on my C7 rig. Build instructions are up in the wiki

It also contains instructions on how to create a systemd unit for dtlogin,

A while ago we started using system built in versions of tcl instead of the
ancient copy we built, this was done on all platforms except netbsd, try
writing a patch adding the location for tcl on netbsd and tell me if that
changes anything:

Hi all,
At the time the CDE build on all NetBSD variants seems to be broken. The
programs build fine if one uses the ancient binary build of ast-ksh, but
none of the documentation builds. Build process stops without any
meaningful error message whatsoever :

On pollution of the build process: I care. I do not know that that makes any
practical difference, but you are not alone. Certain mainstream platforms get
easier with these processes. The rest bog down, become crotchety, or just flat
out don't work.
Sounds like ksh is going to be (even more o

Thanks for your efforts, Danilo. I am also a NetBSD user. Like you, I was
able to build CDE in the 6.x days, but it has since fallen apart.
Personally, I'm sad t
Hi Chase,
The LFS work is certainly not the priority. Currently I'm mostly busy with
checking the build status on various platforms. Ubuntu builds cleanly, but
the NetBSD builds are hopelessly broken. It will probably take some time to
fix that, because there are two major problems:
a) ast-ksh do
