* New features and minor improvements
- A bug in DBX mode introduced in release 3.3.10 has been fixed.
- A bug which prevented DDD from properly displaying ISO-8859-1 characters
(and probably other character sets too) under Motif has been fixed (1)
* New features and minor improvements
- More fixes for perl 5.8.x -- it's now a lot more usable.
- Fixes for Sun's SunONE Studio dbx (1). Build with -DHAVE_SUNDBX is
necessary. Improvements for automatic detection of Sun DBX are welcome.
- Fixes for MacOS X (mainly workarounds for bugs in gdb) (2).
- Support for PHP debugger has been added (1). This is essentially not
tested.
- Source files in subdirectories should be located automatically
when using dbx (tested on Solaris' dbx) (2).
- The perl version supported by DDD is now 5.8.x. The perl debugger
changed between perl 5.6.x and perl 5.8.0, which made this update necessary.
This change is not backwards-compatible. If it is not possible to upgrade
your perl version to 5.8.x or newer, then you can simply install the file
"perl5db.pl" from a recent perl distribution into your old perl tree.
- Through the maintenance menu ("ddd --maintenance"), it now possible to get
a leak check of ddd if ddd is run under valgrind. This is only useful for
ddd developers (or anybody that wants to help making ddd better).
- Several minor bugs fixed, some memory leaks plugged, more code clean-up
done.
- A bug affecting platforms where the size of function pointers is 16 has
been fixed.
- The settings window now starts at a larger, more reasonable size, and
allows the user to resize it.
* Build fixes
- automake 1.9 is now the minimum requirement. This affects only builds
from CVS repository.
- A warning is emitted if a version of g++ older than 3.1 is used.
- libiberty is neither linked nor bundled anymore.
- GNU libtermcap is not bundled anymore. A termcap like library (such as
ncurses) is now required to build ddd.
- The configure machinery has been updated to conform more closely to the
autoconf 2.5x requirements. Several bugs have been fixed.
Minimum requirements: autoconf 2.59, automake 1.7.9, libtool 1.5.
- libiberty (which provides missing standard functions) is not linked by
default anymore. configure has a new option '--with-libiberty' that
enables the libiberty support if required.
If nobody complains, libiberty will be unbundled in a next version.
- The libiberty distributed with ddd has been upgraded to the one included
in GCC 3.4 20040116. It fixes some configuration problems.
- Builds with GCC 3.4, with IBM xlC on AIX, with Compaq/HP cxx on Tru64,
on X11R5 based systems, with SGI CC on IRIX should be OK.
- Builds on HP-UX should now work out-of-the-box. Motif is linked statically
and the Athena libraries are now found by default.
- Builds without Motif/Lesstif available abort with an adequate message.
- Builds with readline support now work. readline is not bundled anymore.
- Builds without -DNDEBUG (i.e. with "assert" enabled) now work.
Default build enables assertions (i.e. -DNDEBUG is not used).
- Several missing files in the distribution are now included.
- Cygwin is supported again.

the "compfaces" program isn't really used. This fix the first part

Patch provided by Marc Recht in PR pkg/21770.
Summary of changes:
- removal of USE_GTEXINFO
- addition of mk/texinfo.mk
- inclusion of this file in package Makefiles requiring it
- `install-info' substituted by `${INSTALL_INFO}' in PLISTs
- tuning of mk/bsd.pkg.mk:
removal of USE_GTEXINFO
INSTALL_INFO added to PLIST_SUBST
`${INSTALL_INFO}' replace `install-info' in target rules
print-PLIST target now generate `${INSTALL_INFO}' instead of `install-info'
- a couple of new patch files added for a handful of packages
- setting of the TEXINFO_OVERRIDE "switch" in packages Makefiles requiring it
- devel/cssc marked requiring texinfo 4.0
- a couple of packages Makefiles were tuned with respect of INFO_FILES and
makeinfo command usage

redefines about which buildlink.mk files would care is BUILDLINK_X11_DIR,
which points to the location of the X11R6 hierarchy used during building.
If x11.buildlink.mk isn't included, then BUILDLINK_X11_DIR defaults to
${X11BASE} (set in bsd.pkg.mk), so its value is always safe to use. Remove
the ifdefs surrounding the use of BUILDLINK_X11_DIR in tk/buildlink.mk and
revert changes to move x11.buildlink.mk before the other buildlink.mk files.
use X11_BUILDLINK_MK as a test value. Generally just reordering the
inclusions so that x11.buildlink.mk comes before the other buildlink.mk
files will make everthing work.
This closes pkg/12893 from Martti Kuparinen <martti.kuparinen@iki.fi>
