Ok, you're now in the Cygwin/X territory. Any questions about Cygwin/X
should be addressed to the cygwin-xfree mailing list (specifically set up
for this topic). For your convenience, I've redirected this reply to that
list, and set the Reply-To: appropriately. More below.

Nope. Why should documentation for a generic X server, XWin, talk about a
particular X application, ddd?

Which "same error"? Be specific. Is it the "can't open display" error?
You need to set the DISPLAY variable properly. The default value for the
command line above should be ":0" (or ":0.0"). You can set the DISPLAY in
a bash console window, e.g., "export DISPLAY=:0", before invoking ddd.
