In regard to: DDD compilation, Ricardo Lima said (at 4:33pm on Apr 18, 2001):

Your compiler is bombing out because of a bug in it.  What version of gcc
are you using?

You could try compiling HelpCB.C manually, without optimization, by doing

  cd ddd
  c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I./.. -DNDEBUG -g -W -Wall -trigraphs -c HelpCB.C

and then

  cd ..
  make

to continue the rest of the compilation.

>This problem can be solved?

Only by fixing your compiler or working around it by finding a way to compile
the code that doesn't trigger the bug.  Reducing the optimization is usually
the first thing to try, and that's what I've suggested above.
