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:

  1. Remove the repo-supplied ddd:

    sudo apt-get remove ddd

  2. 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.

  3. Make sure bashdb is installed:

    sudo apt-get install bashdb

  4. 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

  1. Download ddd-keyring.gpg.

  2. Import it into your key chain:

    gpg --import ddd-keyring.gpg

  3. Verify the signature:

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

To get ddd to work with the bash debugger on bash scripts, it's necessary to install bashdb too.

If it's not installed, you get:

Afterwards, ddd seems to work normally:

This is a regression introduced in DDD 3.3.12, see bug #41649.

The last usable version is 3.3.11.
