Re: DDD-3.4.0 Debbugger GUI released

[Michael Eager]

Hi John --

I'm glad to hear that you are trying to build ddd-3.4.0 on Solaris.

I need more information than the snippet you provided.  Can you capture 
all of the output of your build and send it to me:
  $ make 2>&1 | tee make.log

BTW, gcc-4.8.2 is very old; the current version is gcc-12.2.  Similarly, 
ddd-3.3.9 is nearly 20 years old.
