This is an XFree86 issue, so please use the proper mailing list
(cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com).

What does an older binary mean?

Please see http://www.cygwin.com/problems.html for the additional
information we need to help.

Also, search the cygwin-xfree mailing list archives to see several
discussions on this topic.

DDD 3.3.8 (i686-pc-cygwin) gets `Segmentation fault WAS Re: compiling DDD

[S Iyer]

As I am having similar problems with DDD, let me describe what I
have done.
1. Setup a fresh copy of cygwin from kernel.org mirror
2. Get ddd-3.3.8 and unpack.
3. ./configure -- all goes well with one WARNING:
configure: WARNING: X11/Xmu/Editres.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: X11/Xmu/Editres.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: X11/Xmu/Editres.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result

4. make did not compile even a single file:
$make
Making all in libiberty
/usr/local/ddd-3.3.8/libiberty
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/ddd-3.3.8/libiberty'
if [ x"" != x ] && [ ! -d pic ]; then \
  mkdir pic; \
else true; fi
touch stamp-picdir
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../include/xregex.h', needed
by `regex.o'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/ddd-3.3.8/libiberty'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Now I can use an earlier ddd or an earlier gcc.
Having read past messages, old gcc's are frowned upon.
So I got ddd-3.3.7, compile still complains that  Editres cannot
be compiled. make seems to compile everything untilt eh linker
complains:

I also tried compiling ddd-3.3.8 with gcc-3.2,
the compilation as well as linkage work but ddd crashes as soon

$ddd

Internal error (Segmentation fault).

Oops!  You have found a bug in DDD.

If you can reproduce this bug, please send a bug report
to <bug-ddd@gnu.org>, giving a subject like

    DDD 3.3.8 (i686-pc-cygwin) gets `Segmentation fault' signal

To enable us to fix the bug, you should include the following
information:
* What you were doing to get this message.  Report all the facts.
* The contents of the `~/.ddd/log' file as generated by this
* session.
Please read also the section "Reporting Bugs" in the DDD manual.

We thank you for your support.
-------
Notice the ridiculous value for "using Motif".
Of course my motif is actually lesstif, version  0.93.91-4

Someone suggested in a previous thread that there is
MOTIF-LESSTIF compatibility flag that needs to be set.
Well, I could not find an option to configure to do this,
so I set opened up ddd/config.h and set the two variables
HAVE_MOTIF and HAVE_LESSTIF to (0,1) as well as (1,1)
There is no change in the segmentation fault behaviour as above.

Anyone have a clue?

Thanks

Some include files from libiberty have been forgotten in ddd 3.3.8.
It will be fixed in the next version. Meanwhile, you can find the missing
files
in gcc 3.3.2. Grab the gcc source and recopy gcc/include within ddd/include.
That should fix it.

That is a bug in gcc on cygwin related to "#pragma interface".
Please look for help on the cygwin mailing list.

That is a problem with lessif on cygwin and it is not related

Modifying ddd/config.h will not help. There is a problem with the
lesstif distribution on cygwin. See:
http://www.lesstif.org/INSTALL.html

Credit or blame libtool for that.

Just comment out libtool in the Makefile and see what it does.
If you can crack and fix this problem properly, that would be great.

That's progress. Could you try to perform the link using the same commands
as ddd ?
You posted:
g++ -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -W -Wall -trigraphs -o ddd.exe ddd.o basename.o
compare.o cook.o cwd.o glob.o
<snip many more *.o files>
UndoBuffer.o UndoBE.o WhatNextCB.o configinfo.o  -L/usr/X11R6/lib
.libs/libimp-cygXm-2.a -lXft -lXrender .libs/libimp-cygfontconfig-1.a
.libs/libimp-cygfreetype-6.a -lz .libs/libimp-cygexpat-0.a -lXaw -lXmu -lXt
-lXpm -lXp -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lncurses -ly ../libiberty/libiberty.a
-Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/X11R6/lib

So I guess that it should be something along the lines:
gcc -Wall -I/usr/X11R6/include Xmcheck.c -L/usr/X11R6/lib
.libs/libimp-cygXm-2.a
using whather .libs/libimp-cygXm-2.a points to.

It may be better to fix gcc. However, you can try to convince the ddd
maintainer.

What I was referring to is that in the curent lesstif version, the
compatibility
mode is hard-coded at build time. Therefore, there is no compatibility
switch to play with once lesstif is installed.

Please try on Cygwin:
>cat Xmcheck.c
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){
  printf("xmUseVersion=%d XmVersion=%d\n",
         xmUseVersion, XmVersion);
  return 0;
}
>gcc -Wall -I/usr/X11R6/include Xmcheck.c -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXm
>./a.out
xmUseVersion=2002 XmVersion=2002

If it gives different numbers, there is a good chance that your lesstif
library won't work properly.
