That's a good idea. I'll have to check and see if he'd be willing to donate some to the project.

So rather than asking him to foot the bill for some number of free mugs, would that not be something paid for out of the donations to the project fund? (I confess I haven't looked at the project site to see what mechanisms are provided or expected...)
Sure, any freebies will be paid out of project funds. No one has to give anything to give away for free, just cheap
Awesome!

If we want Kickstarter involved (which I do) then that's not an option.
However, by giving you get USB support working and everyone wins.
I tried it and I was underwhelmed with Solaris Express. Is it just me or is their gnome slow?
I will be submitting a revised proposal after the Holidays. Too insane to try to do anything now.
Code: Select all
As IRIX heads into oblivion (eg, gcc 4.8 has dropped IRIX 6.5) it becomes easier to make the comparison to older operating systems like ULTRIX. Would it be reasonable for the last remaining ULTRIX user to complain loudly about how recent gcc doesn't support his DECstation 5000/240?
They are? Damn.
Oh well. Go, um, away for a few years and see what you learn. I guess this will make porting software a tad harder?
If anyone has access to AIX, can you post the contents of the default color palette? (it might be called 'default'). It should be be in /usr/dt/palettes
Thanks.
Thanks.
I am the documentation lead for the CDE project. It's been a wild few months.
CDE runs on Linux. Here is a list of supported distributions:
https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/w ... Platforms/
The code isn't from 1999. It's from 1995
It's pretty stable on my Ubuntu 12.04 box. Somethings don't work but a lot does.

Hi, some answers:
CDE is the Open Group's reference base. There is no vendor specific code in this release.
Looking at screenshots of CDE on Irix, it doesn't look like SGI varied too much from the default code but it's hard to tell for sure.
Motif will be released in a few months. We are trying to get contributor agreements from everyone and it's a long, hard slog.
CDE should compile on any processor.You may have to add some defines to the makefile for some, though. There is a guy working on a PowerPC 64 bit port and he only had to change a couple of lines to get it to compile. It doesn't work yet but it compiles.

Update: someone just a sent tarball full of patches for FreeBSD in. In theory it will work. Details later.
Sourceforge wasn't my decision. It had already been decided.
It takes about 5 hours to build on the Pi.

I actually got DR3 working on Debian 8. It took some vododoo but it's stable and works great. I'll post a screenshot as soon as I am back on my geek laptop.
MaXX on Debian 8. Some caveats:
Along with all all other requirements, you need to install libglade2-0.
Add /opt/MaXX/bin to your $PATH.
Add the MaXX OpenMotif to your LD_PATH.
The filemanager (FM aka ROX-Filer) works just fine but the desktop with icons doesn't work. Yes, you see it on my screen shot but I have no idea why it works. I logged in one time and it just started working.
Xmmx (The Motif mixer) won't work on Debian. The GTK2 theme looks fine, there is no GTK3 theme yet.
I also tried this on vanilla Ubuntu 16.10 and while I got it to work, it was unstable and prone to crashing or simply freezing.

I fixed it yesterday. Should be fine.
We also have you should check out our forums as that's where I'll be posting tips, tricks and how-tos.

I have posted a how to for the unsupported Debian Testing install.
Your icons are a little odd, some of them.
Make sure you install gcc-5 then restart the desktop. That's usually the cause for the toolchest not showing up.

Looks great!
Bahhh, real men run MaXX on real hardware

No Qt theme, we provide a gtk3 theme. You need 3.20 or better for it to work right.
I'd like a copy of the default scatter background

I know it's generated, I just a need a screen shot of a square so I can use it.

Yes the current GTK3 theme only works on MaXX Modern/
