How is the crossgcc mailing list not enough for you for this purpose? That's
exactly what it's for.

But what my article calls for is quite different. Here I'm concerned mostly
with the *core developers*. I'm calling for the /cvs/src and /cvs/gcc repos on
Sourceware to be merged and for creating a home for the Cygnus tree concerned
with its core development and maintenance, rather than "abuse" you are talking
about.

gdb version 5 under ddd

[j.logsdon]

Two questions from a newbie:

1)  I have been crashing gdb version 4.18.11 under ddd 3.2.4.  I am using
RH6.2.  I see there is a version 5 gdb now available.  Is there an rpm
built yet for RH6.2 at all?

2) The program I am trying to debug is in Fortran.  Is there any way of
automatically including the program source and how do you inspect arrays?

TIA

John

Its just that crossgcc traffic seems a bit on the low side
for some reason. BTW, is all this cross-posting bad? A
newsgroup is better suited for a wide range of questions
and seems more 'publicly accessible' for beginners to
ask all kinds of stupid questions.

 I hope you haven't missed linux-embedded@waste.org. I'd also like to see a
comp.gnu.embedded newsgroup but not for the reason you stated. I like to
think we're all trying to help out anyone who spends time and effort to
research his problem and write coherent questions.
