From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: James Ingham To: Valentin Kouznetsov Cc: insight@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: Re: request Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2000 14:46:00 -0000 Message-id: <14596.49489.675093.569310@leda.cygnus.com> References: X-SW-Source: 2000-q2/msg00136.html Valentin, This depends on how different your version of gdb is from the main trunk of gdb. Insight calls into gdb in a number of places, and also relies on a set of "hook" functions that get called when interesting things happen inside gdb. If your version is a variant of a fairly recent get, it should be simple to add the support files (just look at the difference between a checkout of gdb, and of insight from sourceware.cygnus.com to see what this is), and the gdbtk directory, fix up the Makefiles, and go... However, if your source tree is old then there could be a lot of problems... You will just have to put the two source trees side-by-side and try a merge... If you know what version of gdb your gdb derives from, you could try a three-way merge using the common origin point as ancestor. I always do this in XEmacs, using its diff with ancestor functionality. You find this from the menu in "Tools->merge->directories with Ancestor".
