CDE pkg doesn't create binary in FreeBSD 14

[agoodfella]

Hello, after 2 days I realized that the CDE pkg in the ports doesn't produce a binary file. `whereis cde` or `whereis dtlogin` only returns their port installation files. Two days were well wasted but on the bright side I have realized something that no one did until now, hopefully, no one else has to go through the same suffering I went through. Peace!

agoodfella at <https://www.freshports.org/x11/cde/#pkg-plist> there's an expandable list.

CDE is installed in /usr/local/cde/*. Just like it was on commercial platforms (Solaris, Tru64) back in the day; except on commercial platforms it was /usr/dt/*. Add /usr/local/dt/bin to your path.

slippy$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/lbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/dt/bin:/usr/local/krb5/bin:/usr/local/krb5/sbin:/home/cy/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/sbin
slippy$

cy@ thanks, maybe add a package message? Drop a hint about the path, that might be enough to get people on the right track.
