Re: Cygwin build , Previous DLL (1.5.5-1) A few problems running

Hi,

You should probably wait for a new release of the Cygwin dll.
Then do not hesitate to dig down in the ddd source code and try 
to fix things. It is actually a lot of fun and your patches will be
welcome.

My main goal for the forthcoming 3.3.9 was to address

I have found some trouble when the program is run with 'run in execution
window', nothing seems to get echoed to the window. stderr gets printed
to the bottom frame of the ddd window but stdout seems to vanish into
the aether. 

Also, sometimes it seems that I cannot interrupt the target program
using the 'interrupt' button, in fact I can't figure out how to
interrupt it at all when this happens. At least once, somehow,
everything froze up including all tasks outside of Cygwin, I could not
even get the windows Taskmaster to open up to see what exactly was
hogging the resources. Fortunately I did not manage to repeat this. 

I have no idea if these are actually ddd issues, or gdb issues, or
Cygwin issues, or Windows issues ... or even issues with the target
program --  just letting you know what I have observed on this platform.


Do you want any more information about this at this time, or just wait
for future Cygwin dll improvements and see if it goes away?
