Subject: How to run ddd in XWin?

OK, I apparently already have that installed. I typed "info XWin" and
learned about the options. Nothing terribly relevant to ddd here -- did I
miss something.

OK, I type XWin& and "ddd test.exe" and same error. Any other ideas?
 Test.exe is compiled with the "-g" option in g77.

I also tried ddd convex.pl and still got the same error. Ddd debugs perl
too, correct?


Thanks,
    Siegfried

This one's easy. It's almost certainly looking for a running X server, 
of which there almost certainly isn't one.
I suggest you install the X.org packages, and then start XWin.exe .. 
(It's worth reading the documentation to decide how you want to start it, 
but I found that XWin.exe -multiwindow -emulate3buttons was useful (I 
use emu3buttons because the laptop I use it on only has 2 :( )

Just ensure that is the correct path to the file? I would be surprised 
if it was /cygdrive/c/tmp ... More likely is 
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/tmp/test.c .
Does that work?
