Cygwin build ( RE: ddd - cvs anonymous? )

[Atwood, Robert C]

well, we will see.... I am having some trouble building stuff on Cygwin
-- perhaps because I am not clued in to the Cygwin way of doing things
--  as you may notice if you have been following the cygwin-xfree list
the last few days. (that 'nearly' out of the box gets me ... ) On the
other hand having good working debugger freely available on many
platforms is very very useful to me so I am happy to help.   


Thanks to Harold Hunt, the cygwin package lesstif-0.93.91-6 should
incorporate the fix for the bug that I encountered while using ddd a few
months ago (a bug in lesstif that is) This is not at all the mirrors
yet, so if you are using lesstif-0.93.91-5 or earlier I bet it crashes
when certain kinds of dialog box/widget are opened. (SeparatoG.c bug in
lesstif -- caused a segfault when updating a Gnuplot graph sometimes --
one line fixed in the code ) 
However, Harold says that the cygwin 0.93.94 package that he built has
many problems still, but it should be available as an experimental
package from some servers. The main thing he mentioned was problems with
nedit (I don't use that) , maybe it doesn't have problems with ddd?

Sorry, still does not work, with exactly the same message.
I can wait a few days and try again, there is no critical reason why I
need any updates ... it worked find for me as of Jan 12.

It looks like the CVS anomymous access does not work properly. I
reported it to sf.net. We will see.

When the access works again, could you give it a go on Cygwin ? It
should now work nearly out of the box (see "ddd/PROBLEMS" to get the
full story).
