Default Compiling CDE
If anyone takes a shot at compiling CDE on FreeBSD, can you post your build errors here? It'd help a lot.

Hi,

Initial patchkit containing my work to get CDE to build on FreeBSD is here. It isn't complete but it fixes a fair number of build problems.

http://public.sanguinelabs.co.uk/expose/cde-port.tar.gz

Warning: the build system is pretty crusty

The tarball contains patches and also scripts (to replace linux defines with FreeBSD).

Just out of curiosity, what's so special about CDE? It doesn't look revolutionary in any way... is it just because it was proprietary UNIX software and everybody wants a go?

It was just opened up. Of course all the tinkerers and hackers want to play with a new toy. Much in the same way someone would want to explore and see the source of the original vi.

I'd immediately grep curse words.

Like "haha, lets see how those *beep**beep**beep**beep*ers will discover this command!" or something.

ANd I'm not even talking about emacs..
