RE: DDD startup errors (when launchind perl inferior debugger)

[David Letcher]

Andrew,

I think my company firewall prevents me getting 'cvs' to access the pserver.

Ie;

$ cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/ddd login
Logging in to :pserver:address@hidden:2401/cvsroot/ddd
CVS password: 
cvs [login aborted]: connect to cvs.sourceforge.net(66.35.250.207):2401
failed: Connection timed out


And when I tried WinCVS I got;

CVSROOT: address@hidden:/cvsroot/ddd (password authentication)
cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/ddd login 
Logging in to :pserver:address@hidden:2401:/cvsroot/ddd
cvs [login aborted]: connect to cvs-pserver.sf.net:2401 failed: A connection
attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a
period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has
failed to respond. 

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

Unless a build is to be created soon, I shall just revert to ddd-3.3.8

- cheers David Letcher

OK, I've just commited my changes to fix several problems when
debugging perl.  Without these, ddd is pretty much useless when
used with the perl debugger.

If you like, you can do a CVS build, and give it a whirl and let
me know how it goes.

None of these fixes will support perl-5.6.x and older -- sorry.
It's just too old and too different.  If you desperately need to
use perl versions before 5.8 with ddd, then you're best off
sticking with ddd-3.3.8.

Cheers,
Andrew.
