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.
What are the DDD features you would most like to see in Insight??
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).
Insight's first public demo (ESC '97) was for Windows x powerpc-eabi
target, and it ships regularly with Cygnus powerpc-eabi releases, so
it's pretty likely to work... :-)
Even better, the target dialog is complete enough to let you do all
the connection/download setup without typing any commands at all!
