I've looked at a couple and some look correct like https://github.com/nephros/gentoo/blob/cde-devel/cde-base/cde/files/2.3.2-Makefile_am_permissions.patch but https://github.com/nephros/gentoo/blob/cde-devel/cde-base/cde/files/2.3.2-link_libtrcp.patch is wrong :) Any way, I will look through them when I get some time and perhaps apply some of them manually (but give you credit of course), and maybe fix some like the tirpc diff above so you won't have to. The patches are not in an easily imported format (like git's format-patch format), but I'll live :) Also, current autotools branch should already have Antonis' work integrated as part of the build/install. > I would be happy for any feedback, suggestions, improvements and > general shouting. > Thanks! :) -jon > All the Best, > Peter G. > > PS: if you are not a Gentoo user, there is the possibility of > installing a Gentoo-like environment on your OS of choice OS using the > Gentoo Prefix method. > https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Prefix > I have however not tested running CDE from such an installation. > > PPS: There's also Gentoo VM images available from here, for a quicker > start: https://www.osboxes.org/gentoo/ > > PPPS: There's this thing called Docker now, I hear that running > docker pull gentoo/stage3-x86 > will also get you a base install you can use. > -- Jon Trulson "Entropy.
