Somebody needs to take it upon themself to port DDD and make appropriate
fixes to make it work on Cygwin/X. This has not been done to date, as
far as I can recall, and it is likely to need to be done before ddd will
"just work". I don't see a lot happening with DDD until someone steps
forward to port it properly.
In previous versions (cygwin, xfree, ddd), DDD did compile and run out
of the box. I believe that is why no one took it upon themselves
previously.

Okay. That is good to know.
However, a lot has happened since then and I stand by my point that
someone will have to dedicate some time to getting this to work. The
LessTif questions could be a red herring... the problem might be that
there are some #ifdef __CYGWIN__'s in the code that cause problems with
the new Cygwin 1.5.3-x + versions. However, it could be any number of
issues.
