Problem debugging

[Jacobs, Jeff]

Sir / Maam,

After installing version 5.3 of the ncurses library I am unable to
debug.  I am using KDevelop 2.1 using KDE 3.0.0-10.  I have tried
enabling debugging using the project options/compiler options/compiler
settings placing an X in the debugging information check box.  The code
compiles but I can't even set a break point at the start of main.  I
have also attempted to use options/compiler options/configure placing an
X in the enable debug option.  When I do this the code fails to compile,
and  it appears that the compiler expects pure C syntax ( I've been
making use of the C++ // comments).  There also appear to be missing
declarations in header files.  For instance attr_t is apparently
undeclared in curses.h.  I am linking to the libncurses_g.a library
which I understand from the installation notes is the debug enabled
version ncurses.

If I disable debugging via the check marks mentioned above, I am able to
compile and my code runs but I really need the debugger. I am unsure if
the problem is an ncurses problem or a Kdevelop problem, but I was able
to debug before upgrading to ncurses version 5.3.  Any help or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sincrely,

Jeff Jacobs
