Greetings to all DDD users - and a belated "blwyddyn newydd dda". DDD is arguably the most powerful open source graphical debugger. But its Motif interface is showing its age... The DDD Subversion repository now contains a primitive prototype for a Gtk interface to DDD. This can be found at http://ddd.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ddd/branches/gddd. It can be built from the toplevel source directory like this (note the --with-gtk configure option!): ./CVSMake ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gddd --with-gtk make make install As prerequisites you need the packages libxml2, gtk2, libsigc++ 2.0 or later, and gtkmm 2.4 or later. The executable will be /usr/local/gddd/bin/ddd. So far most of the obvious stuff is working. Most menus appear, "Open Program" works, you can set breakpoints, start a program and single-step. There are paned and separate window modes just like the Motif version. The "Data Display" and other advanced features are yet to be implemented. The alternative GUI targets "Motif" and "Gtk" are presently distinguished in the source code by ugly #ifdef directives and hacky macros: this stuff needs to be replaced by a tidier abstraction layer. Any and all 1337 Gtk hackers are welcome to check this out, test, and submit patches. Share and Enjoy, Peter Wainwright
