Hi, One thing is not comfortable when working with the groff sources: the existence of several source files with the same basename.
$ find . -name common.cpp ./src/libs/libbib/common.cpp ./src/preproc/pic/common.cpp $ find . -name input.cpp ./src/libs/libdriver/input.cpp ./src/roff/troff/input.cpp $ find . -name lex.cpp ./src/preproc/eqn/lex.cpp ./src/preproc/pic/lex.cpp $ find . -name main.cpp ./src/preproc/eqn/main.cpp ./src/preproc/grn/main.cpp ./src/preproc/pic/main.cpp ./src/preproc/tbl/main.cpp $ find . -name device.h ./src/devices/xditview/device.h ./src/include/device.h $ find . -name token.h ./src/preproc/refer/token.h ./src/roff/troff/token.h The problem that it is causing me is that in the Eclipse 3.1 IDE that I'm using, when I start the 'troff' program under the debugger, the IDE wants to show me a breakpoint in src/roff/troff/input.cpp, but for some reason it shows src/libs/libdriver/input.cpp, which doesn't even contain the line where the breakpoint is. The source of the problem appears to be that the ELF binary format used on Linux contains only the basenames of the source files in the debugging information. I.e. _every_ IDE must have the same problem, unless you tell it explicitly which input.cpp is used in which of groff's executables. Can you make it more comfortable to work with the groff sources, by renaming some of the files? For example, src/roff/troff/input.cpp could be renamed to troffinput.cpp. I did this renaming in my local copy of the sources, and can now debug "troff".
