debugging graphics applications [GDB 5.11-doswin-djgpp-allegro]

["Guido Sassmannshausen" <sassi at sedan dot uni-osnabrueck dot de>]

Hi,

most certainly this question relates to Eli as the maintainer of djgpp ports
of gdb, but perhaps someone just happens to have the answer to my problem
"on tongue"

to test some simple parts of a gui framework, I use the allegro gfx-library
to fiddle with those at home. obviosly debugging is quite an important
factor, but after 1h of scanning through GDB docs, allegro and djgpp docs, I
still can't find any solution.
I just want to convince gdb to switch from gfxmode to textmode when it
returns to the prompt. But I am either too blind, too confused or too
exhausted now, to find the simple switch/option.

I just need a pointer to further explanation, a catchword to look for the
option (jepp one of those cases where a specific RTFM is welcome :) ) or
just a "no, ain't poss'ble" to keep me from wasting my employers time and
money ;)

and I don't want to waste your time as well...


thanks in advance

Guido
