For reasons I have been unable to determine, running:
dtaction Dthelpview
or Selecting 'Help Manager' from the front panel fails trying to run
the appropriate EXEC_STRING. It get's corrupted in some fashion and
you will usually see an error in ~/.dt/errorlog of the form:
/usr/dt/bin/t/bin/dthelpview: No such file or directory
or more commonly:
/bin/sh: /us: No such file or directory
It is not clear where this corruption is taking place, but it shows up
in 'dttypes' output as well.
This hack simply removes 10 spaces between the two commands that are
run:
EXEC_STRING /bin/sh -c '/usr/dt/bin/dthelpgen -dir $HOME/.dt/help/$DTUSERSESSION; \
/usr/dt/bin/dthelpview -helpVolume browser
'
Which seems to solve (hide) the problem. Finding the real cause of
this will be saved for a later date when more is known and in
particular whether this happens with other ACTIONS.
Ticket #120
Change libtool's shared library version info to 3:0:1 to preserve the
previous library version of 2.1.0.
See https://autotools.io/libtool/version.html for the details on how
libtool handles this versioning info.
See https://verbump.de/ for a handy 'version calculator' using
libtools rules.
These are just minor tweaks to make sure the 'make install' part does
what it is supposed to do. I also removed some commented code in the
dtmail Makefile related to SunOS, as that is not currently suppoerted
anyway.
Hardcoding a -lstdc++ is wrong, since not all OSs are likely to handle
C++ in the same way.
The issue is that libtt needs to be built as a C++ library, so we use
a fake dummy.cxx file to convince libtool to do so instead, rather
than trying to force the issue by linking a (possibly missing)
libstdc++.
Previously in the imake world, changing the CDE version required hand
editing a handful of files.
This commit makes these files into ".in" files. configure.ac now
holds CDE version information -- both in the AC_INIT() call and in the
CDE_VERSION_* variables a few lines down.
Changing the CDE version now involves editing those two locations in
configure.ac only.
Thereafter, a configure run will replace version information in the
following files with the current CDE version:
copyright
doc/common/help/HELPEnt.sgm
include/Dt/Dt.h
lib/tt/bin/ttauth/ttauth.man
This also causes a catch-22 problem with ToolTalk. So the
tooltalk.inc file is gone and the relevant TT Makefiles have been
modified to set and define the TT version in those Makefiles that
actually use it.
The arg that should be on the rhs seems to be commented out for some
reason, and assigning a variable to itself is pointless, so just
comment it out with a comment explaining why.
Many of these were real bugs, like:
if (cond);
do_something
etc...
Others were just cosmetic - like placing the ';' on a separate line to
make the intention clear.
