Hi DDD developers,
I have been trying to build and use DDD 3.3.1 (actually the current CVS
version as of 17-May-2001) but have had difficulty doing so.
When I first tried to build it I ran into difficulties with our version of
GCC (2.7.2) and Sun Solaris (2.5.1). DDD 3.3.1 seems to have fixed those
problems. Next, I found out our bison version was old and buggy (1.2.2) so
I upgraded to version 1.2.8 and that portion worked. Then I discovered that
the linker was looking for X libraries in /usr/local/lib/X11 when they were
in /usr/local/X11R6/lib instead. I fixed that by doing "ln -s
/usr/local/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib/X11". Finally DDD built properly but
when I went to run it (either by running ./ddd in the ddd directory or
running 'make check'), DDD showed the splash screen then immediately died
with the following output:
========================================================================
$ make check
MALLOC_CHECK_=2 \
DDD_HOME=./.. \
XUSERFILESEARCHPATH=%N XAPPLRESDIR=. \
./ddd cxxtest
