Re: DDD 3.3.8 (i686-pc-cygwin) gets Xt error

[Norman Goldstein]

Thank you for your help and pointers.
Here are the steps I suggest for someone 
who wants to get ddd up and running on
MS's Mindows 2000, without going through the
current compilation travails:

1. Install cygwin/X from a distribution that has lesstif 0.93.91-4 .
(this has the cygXm-2.dll).  
e.g. http://ftp.udel.edu

2. Download the binary ddd 3.3.8-1 from Harold's web site:
http://www.egr.msu.edu/~huntharo/cygwin/release/ddd
Unpack this into its own directory.

3. Add ddd's usr/bin directory to the PATH variahle.
I use the default cygwin shell, so this amounts to editing
the .profile in my home directory. 

4. To run ddd with gdb, start up the X environment, and type  ddd&
at an xterm prompt.

Hi,

 

There are two problems with building ddd 3.3.8 on cygwin.

First, gcc 3.3.x on cygwin has a bug related to "#pragma implementation"

and "#pragma interface". Secondly, recent version of libtool are necessary

to deal with cygwin dll and ddd 3.3.8 out-of-the-box won't work unless

you regenerate the configure script. Both problems can be workarounded.

 

Two possible routes:

#1 get a binary (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-12/). 

#2 get ddd from its CVS repository, look at PROBLEMS and README-CVS

and do your own build. It should now work.

 

Furthermore, cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com and its archive may be helpful.

 

Regards,

Subject: DDD 3.3.8 (i686-pc-cygwin) gets Xt error

Attached is the .ddd/log of the session which produced the error.
Below, is the output from the screen.
This occured when I started up ddd from a cygwin xterm
by typing ddd.  My path variable is:

.:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/k/WINNT/system32:/cygdrive/k/WINNT:/cygdrive/k/WINNT/system32/WBEM:/cygdrive/g/Perl/bin/:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/h/systems/unxUtls/usr/local/wbin:/cygdrive/g/gs/gs7.04/bin:/cygdrive/g/gs/gs7.04/lib:/cygdrive/h/BC5/BIN:/cygdrive/h/bin:/cygdrive/o/MsSdk/Bin/:/cygdrive/o/MsSdk/Bin/WinNT:/cygdrive/o/mingw/MinGW/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin

My first attempt to build ddd failed to link  I read in your archive
about this problem and downgraded gcc to 3.2.3.  The link then succeeded.

The result of    ddd -configuration   is in the attached t file.

The --check-configuration also produced an error, so there is
nothuing to show for that.

Thank you,
Norm
