Hello,
at the moment all BSD and Solaris platforms are broken. Even some Linux
platforms doesn't built anymore. And this is for several reasons. The
error mentioned in the previous mail is only the first one. Beside of
that a lot of new warnings are generated.
Really? I've seen the warning go from the thousands down to 403 (after
my fix for the problem Dietmar reported). I will commit that one to
master in a few minutes.
Yes, but I'm talking here about the BSD systems. Most, but not all new
warnings are coming from makedepend which is still in use for BSD.
I have patches against all these problems. But they need some more tests
before I can send them. I have ~40 Virtualbox test systems and some of
them have to be tested twice due to different compilers. These tests
are important because I often find new errors.
I agree!
I sure wish there was some sort of CI in SourceForge.
Unfortunately at the moment its impossible to finish such tests because
we have so many mass changes. I had already finished the tests for BSD
platforms, but then a new mass patch came out and I had to start from
scratch again.
I would need a week or better ten days without such mass changes.
Otherwise its impossible for me to fix the broken systems.
If you are talking about the mass removal of old systems patches from
Chase, we can stop putting those in master, leaving that free for
testing. Only actual fixes would go in there, and anything else goes
into cde-next-2. Would that work for you?
True, I'm talking about Chase's patches. Your suggestion sounds good.
But we should agree about a starting point. As far as I've seen the
ultrix removal is pending. Should it go into master or cde-next-2?
Is it possible to merge master and cde-next-2 afterwards? I'm not very
familiar with git. SVN was able to merge changes automatically whenever
possible. Can git do this too?
Also, I was not aware you were even trying to do any testing (or that
you were even on the list anymore :)...
Please feel free to let me know when you are doing this kind of stuff so
I can act appropriately in the future.
Well, I'm still doing things from time to time. The first thing I will
describe in another mail. The other is a port to macOS which is nearly
ready. It has only two annoying problems left (not in CDE, but in the
implementation of X11 on macOS).
Linux systems will need (by default) to have tirpc-dev installed now. If
thats not the case on your Linux test systems, you will likely have
build problems, just FYI.
Well, the problem is related to tirpc, but its a little bit different:
glibc has removed support for sunrpc, so /usr/include/rpc is nearly
empty.
For systems using the new glibc tirpc is now mandatory. Unfortunately
not all places in CDE use tirpc even if its enabled. This is fixed by my
patches.
Thanks for testing/patching!
Best Regards, Ulrich
