I have tried out Insight on a Cygwin installation and think it is great
(probably not quite as powerful as DDD at this stage but at least I
don't need an X Server running). This makes it easy for my non-unix
savy colleagues.
I have compiled egcs-1.1.2 as a powerpc-eabi cross compiler hosted on
Linux and also hosted on cygwin. Can Insight be used as a frontend to
powerpc-eabi-gdb ? I've done this with DDD and Linux so I was hoping
Insight would do something similar (especially in the Win32
environment).
I believe that Insight is written in tk/tcl which I believe are
scripting languages. But the cygwin version has a .exe entension and is
a binary file. I am misunderstanding something but I'm not sure what it
is. I thought that tk uses the "wish" interpreter. Can someone set me
straight on this ?
Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
