I can get a stair stepping easily enough on most terminal emulators (this was 
Solaris 10 CDE dtterm):
$ stty -onlcr
$ 
  $ 
$ 
  $ stty sane
 $ 
$ 
$ 
So maybe for some reason, it was bringing up the pseudo-terminal with the wrong 
tty modes. :-)

[cdesktopenv-devel] CDE Builds

2020-11-24 Thread Danilo Pecher
Hi everybody,

I'd like to summarize some of the things we've learned over the last three
days:

1. The good news - most of the Builds have been repaired. NetBSD, Fedora,
CentOS and some intransigent Debian derivatives build again. If you still
run into problems, please make sure to produce a log files, so it can be
looked at by using this sequence to build :

make World 2>$1 | tee cde-make.log

Please note: on BSD variants, you might need to build and use bash for the
stderr->stdout redirection to work.

If you want to investigate the log file yourself, search for the sequences

*error:*and

[ *
to find any possible errors. Not all break the build, but will result in
missing files during installation.

One error that recently came up is the failure to build libcsa. If you see
that error, your system lacks a tool called rpcgen. failure to build libcsa
in turn breaks the build of the documentation files, which was the main
reason for so many platforms failing to build.

Speaking of which: I've tested between several platforms and could confirm
that the documentation files are platform independent. That means we can
take them out of the build process in the autotool conversion and just ship
a pre-processed package. I'll prepare such a package over the weekend.

Cheers,
Danilo

2020-11-24 Thread Antonis Tsolomitis

  
  

  You are right. I got confused with Ubuntu in which installation of
  a service enables it and runs it as well.
  In Arch it needs to me explicitly enabled, and I forgot this. 
  
  So, everything is fine on Arch and Manjaro the only additional
  step is to install rpcsvc-proto.
  
  On Debian testing I still have to learn why dtterm stair-steps the
  prompts until it is reset.
  (this problem does not appear on Arch).
  
  Thanks for all the help,
  
  Antonis.

Yes it compiles on Debian testing. However there are
some problems in dtterm shown in attached
screenshot.
I remember this is an old problem but I forgot its
solution. At the beggining of the screenshot I
enabled Return and Line feed
so no stairs get priduced. But then I can not use mv
-i as I get the prompt immediately after the
overwrite question.

On ManjaroLinux/Arch it compiles but libcsa does not
get produced.
The make log for Manjaro is located here
https://myria.math.aegean.gr/~atsol/tmp/make.log

Moreover, the desktop does not start on
Manjaro/Arch... it complains about /etc/hosts and
the messaging system that does not get started.
I do not know if this is related to libcsa.
