How do I get the bash debugger to work with ddd?

rated 0 times [ 7] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 5595 / 2 Years ago, thu, may 12, 2022, 7:12:48

ddd script.bsh does not open the script. It shows an our glass and if I want to close ddd, it says "bash is busy"...

I found an old message, but it didn't help.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/ddd/2008-10/msg00006.html

I couldn't find ddd-3.3.12-test6.tar.gz, therefore I am using the ddd version from ubuntu repository. Also bashdb is already installed. Used apt-get install ddd bashdb.

Anyone able to use ddd for bash on Precise?

I was able to get ddd and bashdb to play nice on Ubuntu 12.04 today:

Remove the repo-supplied ddd:
```
sudo apt-get remove ddd
```

Fetch ddd v3.3.9 and install from source, e. g.:
```
sudo apt-get build-dep ddd

sudo apt-get install libmotif-dev

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ddd/ddd-3.3.9.tar.gz

tar xvf ddd-3.3.9.tar.gz

cd ddd-3.3.9

./configure

make

sudo make install
```
Note: I had to make a single patch to the source code to get the build to work -- in ddd/strclass.C, we needed a #include <stdio.h>; at the top to define EOF.

Make sure bashdb is installed:
```
sudo apt-get install bashdb
```

Launch with:

ddd --debugger /usr/bin/bashdb -- {script name} {parameters}

Could not live without ddd + Bash.

Optional: gpg verification:

Search for sign on https://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/ will redirect to https://savannah.gnu.org/project/memberlist-gpgkeys.php?group=ddd

Download ddd-keyring.gpg.

Import it into your key chain:
```
gpg --import ddd-keyring.gpg
```

Verify the signature:

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ddd/ddd-3.3.9.tar.gz.sig

gpg --verify
