Hi Chase, It’s not just UnixWare - all systems based on SVR4 inherited this behavior (e.g., see https://www.mail-archive.com/bug-automake@gnu.org/msg04745.html for OpenSolaris). CDE worked well on these systems. They were, in fact, the reference platforms for CDE. I am offering to support

I just did some light research, and it appears that unixware is the one in the wrong with this issue, rm -f not outputting diagnostics info is POSIX, so unixware needs to conform to posix. We are CDE, the common desktop environment, therefor we need to use the common standards.

Have you tried reporting any of these issues to the GNU project? I feel like reporting/fixing it upstream would be significantly less of a time sync and would be beneficial for everyone to have the makefiles be posix compliant and such. Thank you for your time, -Chase ‐‐‐ Original

Hi Chase, I ran autoreconf on Linux and copied it over to my UnixWare system. After manually patching the ‘configure' script to work around new build requirements like Xinerama, pkg-config, and freetype, the build fails because it tries calling the am—refresh target and it can’t find aclocal.

FWIW, I know that including a pre-built configure script is at least quite common in release tarballs in other projects, although many of those have a step in the build instructions like "if you're building directly from git, you first have to regenerate the configure script". But if the script

Not to my knowledge, no. I wonder, would committing the configure file alleviate any of the issues you have with the autotools? If we commit the configure file, you wouldn't need to install the autotools or m4 (you'd still need it to build nsgmls but hopefully we will get rid of this soon for

Hi Jon, Thank you for committing that, it should be the last ksh93 patch. Did you get a chance to look at the other five patches I sent on 17th? I don’t believe they are in yet. I don’t know if this got lost in the shuffle, but since you mentioned potentially fixing autoconf as an alternative

Here’s a revised copy of the ksh fixes I submitted before that properly tests for POSIX-compliant terminal handling capabilities rather than attempting to get OLDTERMIO working. I think these patches are ready to be committed. Kind regards, Lev
