It appears to have installed a bunch
of stuff I already had with RedHat 6.1
with the exception of this Insight Viusal
Debugger.
Although the docs spend a great deal of
time talking about it, I can't figure out how
to start the damn thing.
Could one of you spot me a clue?
The program is still called "gdb", but as usual for windowed apps, you
need to have DISPLAY set correctly and so forth. Then it should
automatically open up windows and such. We designed the behavior to
mimic Emacs, which brings up X windows if possible but drops back to
curses otherwise.
I've been thinking that we ought to have a symlink "insight" -> "gdb",
since it seems a number of people go looking for that.
Nice to spend $80 bucks for something
you already had all along. I'll be more
careful next time... Nice scam Cygnus
Well, at least I know I'll be in the jail cell adjacent to SuSE, Red
Hat, Caldera, etc - we can set up a little LAN and hack. :-)
However, from my experience with building complex packages from
source, and comparing to my hourly rates, $80 seems like a bargain!
Not only that, but you get free advice from friendly Cygnus
engineers...
