DDD 3.3.10 (sparc-sun-solaris2.7) gets `Abort' signal

[Francesco Rotondella]

Hello,

I don't know if this kind of bug have been already submitted, however, I'm going to describe it.
I've just compiled the DDD 3.3.10.
I've also compiled and installed the gdb 6.3 after I had this same problem using the native Sun dbx.

If I launch make check I have the following output:

177 @ebsun31 /home31/ddd-3.3.10>make check
Making check in themes
make[1]: Entering directory `/home31/ddd-3.3.10/themes'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `check'.

Hangup
make[1]: *** [check-now] Abort (core dumped)
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home31/risrotondella/downloads/Unix/ddd-3.3.10/ddd'
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
 

I had the same error with the dbx before installing the gdb : it only changed the string from

 ./ddd  cxxtest

to

./ddd --dbx  cxxtest
 

However, if I follow the same steps visualized after the command make check, all works fine.
Exactly I did these steps:

178 @ebsun31 /home31/ddd-3.3.10>cd ddd
179 @ebsun31 /home31/ddd-3.3.10/ddd>setenv MALLOC_CHECK_ 2
180 @ebsun31 /home31/ddd>setenv DDD_HOME ./..
181 @ebsun31 /home31/ddd-3.3.10/ddd>setenv XUSERFILESEARCHPATH %N
182 @ebsun31 /home31/ddd-3.3.10/ddd>setenv XAPPLRESDIR .
183 @ebsun31 /home31/ddd-3.3.10/ddd>./ddd cxxtest

In this way all works fine, without any kind of error trace.

Now I add some infos about my workstation:

Workstation information:
Type: Ultra10; sparc
Physical memory: 512 MB
Swap: 1353 MB
OS: SunOS 5.7 Generic_106541-18
Desktop: CDE 1.3.5

If you need other system or applications info, let me know.

P.S. I used gcc 3.4.2 for compilations of both gdb and ddd
