The problem is associated with the OS X lack of case sensitivity. The
resource file is Ddd and the executable is ddd. Ddd is created during the
./configure phase, but the makefile, not worrying about case, replaces Ddd
with the executable ddd during the build process. During make install, ddd
is then installed in place of Ddd.
The solution is to save Ddd as Ddd_save after the configure phase and
manually reinstall it as Ddd after make install. For good measure, I also
built the executable as xddd with a prepend option mentioned in the posting.
Problem solved. I'm sure all experienced Mac installers know about this, but
when it manifests itself, the results are puzzling. No error messages are
issued. Lesson learned.
You could have had a look at how either Fink or darwinports do this;
their package descriptions are available as knowledge base even if you
don't want to use them for installation. Both solve the problem by
temporarily adding a .exe suffix to the ddd executable.
