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.
