Hello Folks, I'm getting started with Motif coding. I've managed to get CDE compiled on NetBSD 7 (what fun!) and I'm still at the 2nd "hello world" pushbutton tutorial stage with my own coding. I'm passable with C, but new to Motif. I'm currently reading "MOTIF Programming" by Marshall Brain. So far, so good. It's a pretty nice book, honestly (probably because it was never a textbook, hehe). I'm not fond of GTK since it's too closely tied to GNOME and I can't stand DBUS or their politics. I do still use glib from time to time, though. I don't want to go the FOX, QT, or FLTK route since I'm close to worthless in C++, and I'm perfectly OK with callbacks. I'm wondering about the future of CDE and Motif in general. Does anyone have plans to add more applications and features to CDE in general? I'm a fan of 4DWM and Indigo Magic Desktop, too. However, it seems that all freeware projects related to recreating those are dead as a doornail (sadly). If I can get my chops up to speed, that would be the first thing I'd want to work with/on. I'm also excited by the idea that the 'default apps' for CDE may be updated or appended to. However, I feel like I must be the only one in the world who cares at this point.
