From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Chris Faylor To: insight@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: Updated: gdb 20000608-1, tcltk 20000608 Date: Fri, 09 Jun 2000 20:11:00 -0000 Message-id: <20000609231120.B6910@cygnus.com> X-SW-Source: 2000-q2/msg00251.html I've uploaded a new version of gdb (aka insight) to sourceware's /pub/cygwin/latest/gdb directory. This version should work better than the broken version that I uploaded yesterday. It actually does not exit silently or give a cygwin stack trace on startup! I hope. This version of gdb should be able to find files referenced on the command line using the cygwin mount table (e.g. 'gdb /bin/ls') and should be able to open files selected in the file dialog via their Windows paths. I've also made a couple of other modifications. gdb no longer displays DLLs as they are loaded. Instead, you can get a list of DLLs via the "info shared" command. I also added a "dll-symbols" command for loading the symbols of a DLL file. To update your installation, CREATE AN EMPTY DIRECTORY, cd to it, and download the latest version of setup.exe from the cygwin/latest directory at a cygwin mirror site near you. Then type: setup gdb Answer the questions as you did when you first installed cygwin. This procedure will only update the gdb package. If you have not previously used the new setup.exe program to install a version of cygwin, you probably will need to install the entire cygwin package for correct operation. Once the setup is complete you may remove this newly created directory. It will contain the setup.exe program, a setup log file, and the gdb tar file. None of these are needed for further operation of gdb but you can keep them around if you are interested in reinstalling everything later. The setup.log file contains diagnostics that will be helpful if your installation failed for some reason. For completeness, I've also uploaded a new version of tcltk sources and binaries. There is no need to download these if you are installing gdb, however. The gdb binary and source tar.gz files contain everything in the tcltk files. As usual, I have only updated sourceware. The gdb files will take a while to propagate to the mirror sites. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the cygwin mailing list at: cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com . I would appreciate if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. Christopher Faylor GDB/Cygwin Engineering Manager Red Hat, Inc.
