Re: Trouble with DDD download via cygwin setup


Norm,

 Thanks to Arnaud Dessiter for help and pointers.
Here are the steps I suggest for someone
who wants to get ddd up and running on
MS's Mindows 2000, without going through the
current compilation travails:

1. Install cygwin/X from a distribution that has lesstif 0.93.91-4 .
(this has the cygXm-2.dll).  e.g. http://ftp.udel.edu

2. Download the binary ddd 3.3.8-1 from Harold Hunt's web site:
http://www.egr.msu.edu/~huntharo/cygwin/release/ddd
Unpack this into its own directory.

Why don't you add the following address to setup.exe?


http://www.egr.msu.edu/~huntharo/cygwin/

I have a setup.ini file there that should allow you to install ddd without any manual steps.

3. Add ddd's usr/bin directory to the PATH variahle.
I use the default cygwin shell, so this amounts to editing
the .profile in my home directory.

Why is this needed? I don't remember what I did exactly with this package, but I remember not having to do something like this.
