I'd be happy to update the wiki if someone gives me instructions that work. I
don't use Slackware so someone will have to test it.
It's always a good idea to build from git. Like the instruction page says, when
in doubt, build from the source.

Subject: Re: [cdesktopenv-devel] Complete Slackware 14.0 build step!
There is a problem with your blog.
The link to the PDF file:
http://blog.developpez.com/andriamilamina/files/2013/08/CDE_2.2.0d+Slackware_14.0.pdf
returns a 404 error. The blog entry itself does not contain any detail
about the Slackware installation.
I have a page (in French unfortunately) describing the installation on
Slackware 13 of CDE 2.2.0c.
http://edmond.orignac.pagesperso-orange.fr/motif.html
Since then, I have found Slackbuild scripts for CDE
http://slackermedia.info/slackbuilds/cde/
that should automate the steps described in details on the page.
The main difficulty with Slackware 13 was with the replacement of
Lesstif with LGPL Motif. Uninstalling Lesstif with pkgtool removed
/usr/lib/X11/config/host.def (bad for imake)
and the Slackbuild script for Motif
from slackbuilds.org was obsolete.
After installing Motif, xdvi and xpdf must be recompiled from source.
After that, following
instructions on the CDE wiki was enough to install CDE 2.2.0c.
I know that Slackware-current and Slackware 14.0 still use the Lesstif
library although its developers seem to have abandoned it. So the part
on Lesstif still applies. What about CDE 2.2.0d ? Have you discovered
some new problems when installing on Slackware 14 ?
Using dtcm in CDE 2.2.0c, I noticed 3 bugs.
1) There seems to be some issues with timezone definition. If I want to
enter an appointment starting at 8:00am, I must enter 9:00am as starting
time so that it appears in the calendar at the right time and
the alarm appears also at the right time. My timezone is 'Europe/Paris'
and because of Daylight Saving Time, my time is currently UTC+2, but
the hour I enter is treated as if it was UTC+3. I don't know what will
happen after the legal hour returns to UTC+1.
2) If I want to modify an entry on a certain day, I must click on the
next day in the week(or month) view of the calendar to see the entry
appearing in the appointment editor window under "Time What".
3) Entries that I have deleted from the calendar in a previous CDE
session reappear after an log out and log in again. I have obtained
that behavior for entries that repeat over a few days or entries
that repeat every week.
Have any of these bugs been corrected in CDE 2.2.0d ? Can they be
reproduced on other platforms (other Linux distributions, Unix System V
or BSD systems) ?
Best,
Edmond Orignac
