@codazoa I had the same problem.

After running ddd using the terminal ($ ddd) I had multiple warning messages saying something like : "Cannot convert string "...." to type FontStruct"

After a couple of research and spending hours to find a fix, I've finally found this : "Some programs only work with bitmap fonts. Two major packages with bitmap fonts are available, xorg-fonts-75dpi and xorg-fonts-100dpi." (From the AUR : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xorg)

So basically, you need to run this command :

$ xdpyinfo | grep resolution

And get the xorg-fonts-XXdpi (with XX = 75 or 100) that is closer to the output value of the command above.

You can install a xorg-fonts package using pacman : 

$ sudo pacman -S xorg-fonts-100dpi

Once you've done that, run : 

$ sudo pacman -S gdb

Then reboot and everything should work.

confirm: https://github.com/Programatic/ddd works like a charm in open Motif while the AUR package does not build.

@kaptoxic I used the fix @0xjmz supplied and put it up here in the PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO: https://github.com/Programatic/ddd It installs fine for me now, you can update it if you want.

I applied a patch found here http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41997 which simply "emulates" default values. It compiles and works.

No i don't know how to fix it but probably gcc-9.1 just builds on a higher C++ standard so you could try changing the standard and check if that fixes it.@kaptoxic

aspirogrammer commented on 2019-07-09 22:05 (UTC)

Do you have an idea how to fix it perhaps?

kernelisstrong commented on 2019-07-07 07:38 (UTC)

Could you fix the building for gcc-9.1? @kaptoxic

Canopti commented on 2019-07-02 06:51 (UTC)

Does not compile with gcc-9.1

I'm new in Arch Linux world so I don't even know where I start to install DDD without using pacman. How can I do it? Is it hard to learn? I need the debugger for my faculty and I don't know how to use another one.
