[comp.windows.x] X11 front end for gdb

jkh@pcsbst.UUCP (Jordan K. Hubbard) (03/19/89)

Since everyone seemed to be talking about the new spate of dbx front
ends, I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon...

I've got an X11 based front end for gdb 3.1 which I'll be releasing
soon. My question: Who is willing to beta test it?

It uses the athena widget set and is careful not to be BSD or SysV
dependent, so it should run on just about anything. (I hope).
The only drawback is that it requires patches for gdb (which I
will include). Before you flame me for this, be it known that
the original *didn't* require modification to gdb in any
way, but I made the mistake of talking about it to RMS who
basically shot down the method I was using and made a good case
for modifying gdb (hint: It has a lot to do with the way
gdb does/will be keeping history).

Send me mail if you're interested. Comments, as always, are appreciated.
