[ECOS] GDB Windowing Interface.

[ECOS] GDB Windowing Interface.

[Andre McCurdy]

The gdb help describes the use of the '--nw' option to
prevent gdb using a 'window interface'.

With my build however (Linux host, tx39 target) i get
the standard console interface with or without this
option.
What do i need to do to force gdb to start WITH the
windowing interface ?? (Yes I am running under X, with
a correctly set DISPLAY setting).

It wasn't supplied by default with the eCos tools on the eCos web site.
However you can try rebuilding GDB with Insight from
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/insight/ which should work just fine.

The --nw (or is it -nw) is only when using Insight.  Unfortunately (in
my opinion) the executable is called gdb.  If --nw (or -nw) is not
recognised then the original gdb is probably being picked up.  Type
"which gdb" to find out the path of the gdb being invoked.  If it is the
wrong one, then you must change your path or invoke it with
/<correct-path>/gdb.
