Motif debugger and KDE on cygwin

[Bojan Nemec]

Hi,

Another idea, check if you have the file DECW$USER_DEFAULTS:VMSDEBUG.DAT. If you have this file try to rename before invoking the dbugger. In this file are the XWindows settings for the debugger, maybe some setting is misconfigured. You may look in the file, it is a normal text file.

Hi,

Strange, from xwininfo the debugger is on the screen. Is the debugger also visible in the windows list of the KDE task bar? If so, try to right click on the button in the window list and try to move it with move.

No, it isn't on the task bar nor is it accessible via "alt-tab" (which I have remapped).

[Bojan Nemec · Accepted solution]

Sorry,

In my previous post I say that the debugger window should be on the screen. There is a line which says a little different:

Map State: IsUnMapped

Searching the documentation I could not find when the window is in this state. Some references are on a iconified window, but maybe the window is also in this state before calling XMapWindow.

Check in which state is the debugger process. Also try to change to another virtual desktop and then return to yours current virtual desktop.

I think this must be the key. Unfortunately, I think it's probably due to some kind of cygwin oddity, but I still don't want to give up.

Doesn't help but I finally got it to appear by launching the "desktop pager". From that application I was able to click on the debugger window and it appeared!

Thanks to all who contributed to this thread!

[Bruce Visscher_1]

FWIW, I have been trying to assign Bojan some more points but I keep getting a web page that says "system unavailable".

[Bojan Nemec]

Bruce,

It seam that this (or similar) error was documented in some other circumstances. You can see some descriptions using Google with IsUnMapped.

Bojan

[Bruce Visscher_1]

It did turn out to be the IsUnmapped flag. Of course, that begs the question how did that get set but I suppose that's a question for kde/cygwin and/or OpenVMS debugger developers.

Thanks to all for your help!

I am reopening this thread in order to provide the following in case it might be useful to someone.

P.S. I finally solved this in a slightly more satisfactory manner.

I got a hold of the January 2005 edition of HP OpenVMS Debugger Manual. It has this:

!
! STARTUP RESOURCES: 3=Iconified, 0=Visible
!
DebugSource.initialState: 0
DebugControl.initialState: 0
DebugEditor.initialState: 0
DebugInstruction.initialState: 0

After adding the above to my DECW$USER_DEFAULTS:VMSDEBUG.DAT file but changing the 0s to 1s I can now run the XWindows debugger and it the debug window appears immediately.

So, I guess either this is a documentation bug or perhaps the Alpha OpenVMS 7.3-108 debugger is out of step w.r.t. the configuration file.
