Archive-name: pmax-gdb/25-Jan-90 Original-posting-by: bothner@sevenlayer.cs.wisc.edu (Per Bothner) Original-subject: Pre-release of MIPS/PMAX port of GDB Archive-site: pokey.cs.wisc.edu [128.105.2.4] Archive-directory: pub Archive-files: pgdb.diff.Z Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) A port of gdb (the GNU debugger) to the DECstation3100 is now available. I have used it myself for a while, and am pretty happy with it, but more testing is needed. You can get the diffs by anonymous FTP from pokey.cs.wisc.edu (128.105.2.4) in pub/pgdb.diff.Z. The diffs are relative to gdb version 3.4, available from prep.ai.mit.edu, and numerous other places. The file MIPS-NOTES summarizes known problems. After you get 3.4, apply the diffs (with patch), then do: config.gdb dec-3100 make - and that should do it. If you have a big-endian MIPS box (Mipsco, SGI) you could try: config.gdb mips - and it just MIGHT work. (I have no means or interest in testing it.) If you find something wrong (that is not mentioned in the file MIPS-NOTES), let me know - or better yet, fix it. --Per Bothner bothner@cs.wisc.edu Computer Science Dept, U. of Wisconsin, Madison WI 53706
