Re: Problem building ddd on cygwin


Please keep replies on the list so others can help.  I apologize if I
should not have CC'ed you, but I wasn't sure you were subscribed,
especially in light of your cross post.

See below for comments.

Cygwin keeps two versions of gcc around.  Plain gcc is "gcc (GCC) 3.2
20020927 (prerelease)".  gcc-2 is "2.95.3-10".  Look in Cygwin's setup and
install the package named gcc2.  I am not sure what category it is under,
though.

Well, there is really no time involved for getting gcc-2 and using it to
compile ddd.  Like I said before, I haven't spent much time at all
debugging the ddd <-> gdb interaction.  I've also had weird problems with
gdb that no one else seems to have, and I have a few versions lying around
because of custom development.  YMMV.

Let me know if you find something and need help debugging.
