DDD 3.3.8 recipe - was - RE: libtool created import libs broken? was RE: DDD 3.3.8 (i686-pc-cygwin) gets `Segmentation fault

[Richard Campbell]

Ok, I think this is the quickest way to get a working (as far as I can tell,
and I 
didn't play with it all that much, although I did load up the cxxtest.exe,
set a breakpoint,
run through, etc.) DDD 3.3.8 on cygwin:

1. Get the DDD 3.3.8 source and a gcc 3.3.x source.
2. Copy the gcc/include contents into ddd-3.3.8/include
3. Edit ddd-3.3.8/configure to remove the "old_archive_from_expsyms_cmds"
variable (patch
        below, which is just in the cygwin section of configure):

bash-2.05b$ diff -u ddd-3.3.8-orig/configure ddd-3.3.8/configure

4. bash ./configure
5. Edit all of ddd/*.C ddd/*.h to remove or guard all "#pragma interface"
and 
        "#pragma implementation" lines.
6. make
7. make install
8. run as normal.

The usual disclaimers apply.  I have included the output of:

diff -u -r -N ddd-3.3.8-orig/ ddd-3.3.8

As a gziped attachment (which includes all of the gcc/include files, so it
might be easier to 
use than the above directions).

Feel free to play with it if the prospect of handediting 500 .C and .h files
doesn't thrill you.
