DDD under cygwin: ddd was built with a problem. When it runs, it does nothing

[Vincent De Groote]

Hello,

I have just built the last version of the ddd program under cygwin.

Cygwin was freshly installed.

After resolution of various missing libraries at configure time
(x-windows related), I ran the 'make' command.
The make command failed, because there was a library request
'-lresolv' that didn't exist in my installation.
I tried to find a libresolv or resolv package on cygwin (setup.exe and
http://www.cygwin.com/packages).  I didn't found anything
I then created a /usr/lib/libresolv.a package from an empty object file.
Then the make completed successfully.  I have executed the 'make
install' command, which ended without errors.

First question:  the libresolv.a library I have built contains
nothing, and the link phase was successfull.  Why is this library
needed ?

Then I started my freshly installed x-server, and started ddd in one
of the opened x shell.  Nothing happened
I tried to run the ddd.exe program from a cygwin console, without an
x-server.  Nothing happened.


Any idea on how to make it work ?

Thanks for your replies and your time.
