RE: Cygwin build (and install)

[Atwood, Robert C]

Install problems.

Here are the steps I took: 
1) tried make install
2) realize I did not uninstall the 3.3.8 (installed via cygwin setup)
3) make uninstall
4) uninstall package ddd-3.3.8 via cygwin setup
5) accidentally mangle several files in my checked-out cvs of ddd trying
to relocate the install to /usr/
6) check out a whole new version
7) the usual steps of fix PROBLEMS, CVSMake, configure --prefix=/usr ,
make
8) make install
9) ddd


Now ddd itself runs but the gdb cannot communicate with it. 
$ ddd
gdb: access /dev/tty1: No such file or directory
gdb: cannot open master pty: No such file or directory
gdb: communication setup failed

I am pretty sure this did not happen before (I was running
/usr/src/ddd-cvs/ddd/ddd.exe without 'installing' , but the other
installation was in place) I could have a look at what startup and
resource files differ in the cygwin package, unless you or someone
recognizes exactly what is wrong. It seems like it must be something
pretty obvious to do with configuring the link between gdb and ddd ..
sorry I am not familiar with how that works normally, usually it just
works great without any intervention from me.

(that's supposed to be a compliment) 
 

In good news, it works even without using the Cygwin X server running ;
I also have Exceed and issuing ddd -display localhost:0.0 pops up the
fully functional ddd window via Exceed. (still the same gdb messages
except /dev/tty0 mentioned instead of /dev/tty1 )

So far so good. 

I can get the cvs tree, directly from the Cygwin machine. I made the
changes from PROBLEMS. 

It compiles and I can open it, 3.3.9 version is displayed in the 'about'
so I am sure it is the right one. I can open the menu items, and
manipulate the tear-off windows. 




I have not yet tried it out on a program, I will keep you posted when I
do.
