[comp.sys.atari.st] Interest in porting fweb, anyone?

petcher@ds10.scri.fsu.edu (Don Petcher) (11/23/90)

I have been using fweb (a version of cweb which can handle C, fortran 
and ratfor and is being updated to handle C++ and fortran '90) very 
effectively to maintain self-documented code for a collaborative effort 
on the supercomputer here, and would love to get it up and running on my 
ST.  I can get both fweave and ftangle through Bammi's port of the gnu C 
compiler, but fweave crashes mysteriously (due to faulty memory/stack 
handling?) and ftangle works but crashes after completing its task, I 
think due to something incompatible in the functions associated with 
time.  The program compiles straightforwardly with gcc on a sun, or 
a vaxstation or decstation running Ultrix.

Would someone be interested in looking into the problem?  I don't know 
much about gcc and haven't had much time to get very far yet.  It 
shouldn't be difficult for someone who is substantially more familiar 
gnu C than I am.

By the way, to what extent is gdb working for the ST?  I can get it 
going without problem with a liitle program like "Hello World", even 
with source debugging, although I haven't checked it extensively. It 
crashes hopelessly with fweave. 

Anyone who is interested, please email me.  Or any knowledge of bugs or 
incompatibilities in the ST gnu port/libraries with standard Unix stuff 
would be appreciated.
