problems using DDD with phindows

I know that someone had addressed this once before, but I lost the thread.
I cannot run DDD from a phindows session. Whenever I type an underscore “_”,
none appears and anything I type after that is in uppercase. This is really
annoying, forcing me to run DDD on the host machine in the lab. I would
prefer to run it remotely from my desk instead.

I have downloaded Phindows 2.0 in the hopes of solving my problems, but this
did not fix the issue. If I remember the post correctly, there is some
configuration that must be performed after installation of X (funny thought
that this does not automatically occur as part of the QNX installation).

Any help would be appreciated.

That’s right, this is because XPhoton is not localized and doesn’t
support any other keyboard than US.
Now I use VNC (look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/openqnx/), it
works fine and faster than with XPhoton.

You are probably wasting money by using phindows.
You can send me your phindows license so that I can see if it can
be better used :slight_smile:

since you are using ddd (an x applications), it doesn’t make sense
to use phindows->qnx photon->xphoton->x application.
it is a lot easier to do VNC → VNC server → x application

Just a little point :-[ , with vnc, you will need the DDD version
available on this site!

using the US keyboard (although I am using “Canadian English” for

maybe it’s a DDD bug for the version you are using??
try the latest version from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/openqnx

Am I missing something here. I distinctly remember a thread where someone
said that they have DDD running under Phindows, but they had to make changes
to some configuration files?

Hi,

It seems that you are right. I tried again the qnx ddd version with
phindows and a US keyboard, and I cannot get any [shift] key of the
first keyboard line.
Don’t know why. sorry!

Alain.

An alternative approach is to use an X server on the Windoze box, and set
DISPLAY in your Phindows pterm to connnect to the Windoze box. When you
launch ddd from a Phindows pterm, it opens an X window on the Windoze box.
We’ve been using the Hummingbird X server with Phindows in this way quite
successfully.
