I've seen people compile quite a few GNU programs under xenix. Is there a reason I've never seen GDB brought to xenix? Are there any debuggers in the public domain that are better than the ones in xenix--adb or sdb? Thanks. -- -Gary R. Ritchie gritchie@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU

Is there >a reason I've never seen GDB brought to xenix? GDB expects a.out format executable files. Xenix generates COFF format object files (still placed in the file a.out). You can convert the whole Xenix library to the a.out form, but then you lose the ability to use the standard Xenix products. There probably is light at the end of the tunnel as work is progressing on GLD and probably GDB to generate COFF. Ron. -- | Ronald J.
