The GDB GUI : News

Updated Insight 6.8-1 available

Insight 6.8 has been available for some time, and the current release tarball has issues with newer versions of X11. As a result, I am making available a patched Inisght 6.8-1 release which should fix all outstanding issues with X11.

Insight 6.7.1 available

Looks like I missed the 6.7 release. Alas! Don't despair! The Insight 6.7.1 release is now available for download via ftp from ftp://sourceware.org/pub/insight/releases/.

Insight 6.6 available

The Insight 6.6 release is finally available for download via ftp from ftp://sourceware.org/pub/insight/releases/.

The real Insight 6.5.0 available

After many mishpas, a real 6.5.0 release of Insight is now available in all the usual places. My sincerest apologies to all those that suffered at my ignorant hands. [And many thanks to those that reported the problems with the "release" that elicited this re-release!]

GDB/Insight 6.5.0 available

GDB/Insight 6.5 is now available for download via ftp from ftp://sourceware.org/pub/insight/releases.

GDB/Insight 6.4.0 available

At long last, the latest release of GDB/Insight 6.4 is available for download via ftp from ftp://sourceware.org/pub/insight/releases.

New Website for Insight

Steven Johnson reports:

After a steep learning curve, a new Website for Insight has been created. The main purpose of the update is to allow things like NEWS and FAQs to be easily maintained. (at least easier than they are now). Also certain parts of the format, like the main menu bar across the top are now generated via a PHP script, and so retain a high degree of uniformity and allows easier creation of new pages.

New Snapshots for Insight

Keith Seitz reports:

The sourceware gods have given us a place to put stuff: pub/insight. We can do whatever we want with it.

I'll start the whole thing off by doing a snapshot. Probably won't be doing diffs or anything like that to start with, but at least a snapshot every Monday.

For the most part, I guess I'll follow the gdb snapshot conventions. I've put a weekly snapshot based this morning's sources in ftp://sourceware.org/pub/insight/snapshots/current/

Unfortunately, they don't build because of a build problem in BFD.

Tcl/Tk 8.4.1 Imported to sources.redhat.com!

So, what does this mean for you? If you're a cygwin user, it's great news! This import, which differs only in some small configury changes from the "standard" Tcl/Tk 8.4.1, fixes all known outstanding Cygwin problems. You can once again build Insight from CVS. Much thanks to Martin Hunt and Red Hat for this contribution.

 

Insight 5.3 available

Actually, it has been around for a while, but I've not updated the web pages!
Download it now!

 

Instructions for building on Cygwin Updated

Thanks to the recent import of Tcl/Tk 8.4.1, cygwin appears to be working and stable. There's a special procedure for building a stable version of Insight. Read all about it. If you are a cygwin user, please download/checkout and use the CVS version and help us find any remaining outstanding cygwin problems.

Instructions for building Insight on Cygwin

I've added a page describing how to build for Cygwin and why there is a different build procedure for cygwin.

 

GDB/Insight 5.2 available!

Version 5.1 of Insight includes many improvements and bugfixes.

Problems Building Insight with gcc for Cygwin

Newer versions of gcc for Cygwin no longer implicitly define WIN32 conditionals.

There is a patch that fixes this problem.

Alternatively use:

CC='gcc -mwin32' configure

Insight 5.0 Released

GDB 5.0 & Insight 5.0 are released!

Much thanks to all the contributors.

Late breaking bugs and fixes are being added to the Errata page

Insight is released!

See the official announcement for more details. This is an in-development snapshot release which will undoubtedly have rough edges. There will be new snapshots made every week on Monday or Tuesday.
