Hello! I recently built CDE 2.2.3 on Slackware 14.0 (i686). Noticing that libtirpc is among the requirements, I thought what follows could be of interest and might need to be documented and/or tested.
IME, if symbol HasTIRPCLib is not defined (assigned 1 or YES) in './config/cf/host.def' (or in 'site.def', same path), the dtcm build will fail with the following error: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ../../../exports/lib/libcsa.so: undefined reference to `registerrpc' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HOWEVER, if I do #define HasTIRPCLib, then the resulting CDE build won't be able to connect to ToolTalk, will abort at startup, returning this error in ~/.dt/errorlog : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** ERROR(4): Dtwm: PID 1242: Tue May 12 21:24:25 2015 "Could not connect to ToolTalk: TT_ERR_NOMP No ttsession process is running, probably because tt_open() has not been called yet. If this code is returned from tt_open() it means ttsession could not be started, which generally means ToolTalk is not installed on this system. " *** [330] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Might the error be due to the fact that I don't have inetd installed? More testing is in order... Anyway, now I have installed a build with HasTIRPCLib undefined over a previous build that had it defined. So the latest build is able to start up, while the previous build provides dtcm. Everything seems to work now, except that dtcm complains about the lack of inetd. Looks like I need to install and learn how to configure inetd for CDE (pointers welcome). Looking forward to your comments, thanks for keeping CDE alive.
