ddd and gddd problems

[Fred Krogh]

My ddd is hanging in a Fortran code, but the problem seems to go away if 
I put some extra breakpoints in.  So at least I have a workaround.
The problem does not seem to occur if using gdb, but I strongly prefer ddd.

As a result of this I decided to see if maybe I could get the new 
version working.

I started today with

svn co svn://svn.savannah.gnu.org/ddd/branches/gddd

The revision number is 7209.

Then in the gddd directory

./CVSMake
./configure               (also tried this with ./configure 
--prefix=/usr/local/gddd --with-gtk)
make


Corrected the same two problems in ddd.texi and ddd-themes.texi (I 
mentioned the first about a month ago.)
Corrections amounted to replacing \def\postscript{} on line 1 with 
\def\postscript(), and changing @sp -7 with @sp 0
(Of course I don't know if this is the desired correction, but at least 
it allows further progress.)

Some of the C codes had problems.  There were problems with VSLSTYPE not 
being defined.

I commented out the line


#define YYERROR_VERBOSE

in vsl-gamma.Y to avoid getting complaints about YYDEBUG getting redefined.

Also in this program moved

extern YYSTYPE vsllval;

up inside the define block used just above it to avoid an error that 
YYSTYPE was not defined.

I added to strclass.C the three lines

#ifndef EOF
#define EOF (-1)
#endif

to get around a complaint that EOF was not defined.

At some point after this I concluded that things were in such bad shape 
there was no point in continuing.

In summary, either I'm not downloading what I should be, or ???
Can someone point me in the right direction?  Thanks,
Fred
