Re: Trouble with DDD download via cygwin setup

[Norman Goldstein <normvcr at telus dot net>]

 Harold, I had the same problem as that experessed by Yamin in

   * Date: Tue, 09 Dec 2003 12:39:08 -0500

i.e. the download did not succeed when I ran the Cygwin setup as

setup http://www.egr.msu.edu/~huntharo/cygwin/ 
<http://www.egr.msu.edu/%7Ehuntharo/cygwin/> .
You mentioned that, perhaps, the setup.ini needs some fiddling.

I hope your wife is better and you did well in your final!

Thank you for making the binary available for download.

Cheers,
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 <http://www.egr.msu.edu/%7Ehuntharo/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/ 
<http://www.egr.msu.edu/%7Ehuntharo/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.
