I've tried (so far unsuccessfully) to port DDD 3.1.2 to b20.1/Windows98. I have an executable that creates the main DDD window, but fails to connect to gdb. Alternatively, it fails to locate the X libraries when run with --check-configuration. In both cases the problem is with calls to popen. I posted a message a few days ago asking for help in figuring out this popen problem, but no takers yet. Too bad, because DDD is a superb front-end to gdb (and other debuggers). At any rate, this is what you need to get as far as I got: 1. An X server. I currently use the free server by Microimages: http://tnt.microimages.com/www/html/freestuf/mix/ 2. X libraries. I have downloaded the precompiled libraries from Andy Piper's ftp site http://www.parallax.co.uk/~andyp/. 3. Lesstif libraries. Check http://www.lesstif.org. 4. And of course ddd itself: http://www.cs.tu-bs.de/softech/ddd Some configuation work is required. I would recommend starting from the "related sites" on the Cygnus Web site. They give good detailed instructions on how to set up X with cygwin. As you may already know, there is a precompiled ddd for b19. Unfortunately, it looks for libXpm.dll which is not in the precompiled X libraries for b20.
