Colin,

Make sure that your "DISPLAY" environment is set.  To see if it is, do:

$ echo $DISPLAY

This should be something like

machineName:0.0

where machineName is ... the name of your machine.  If it isn't, you can 
set it by:

setenv DISPLAY machineName:0.0

This is what Martin & I originally intended for that class.  However, as 
you can tell from the paucity of code in it, Martin left before he could 
get around to fleshing it out, and the rest is history...  This sounds 
like a really good idea.

So let's do it.  I can't promise doing it this week as it is a very busy
one around here, but I will tackle it next week.

Re: Insight ?

[Stuart Allman]

It's still not working.  I put a SET DISPLAY=MYMACHINE:0.0 in my
autoexec.bat and it still doesn't work.  Do I have to have X11 installed
in order to make this work?  In the bash shell that comes up when I
click on cygwin it now echos back MYMACHINE when I try to echo $DISPLAY
command, so I know that it's set properly.  Is there any diagnostics I
can run to find out where insight it trying to send the "hello world"
characters?

Thanks,

The gdb patch approval process is what happened to it.

I'm going to resubmit it this coming week.  That will be the 2 month
anniversary and the third time I've submitted it.  Yay.

I thought the executable had been renamed to "insight"
but I just did a fresh configure ; make install from
the CVS and the executable is still named gdb. I know
I have the new sources because now the controls are
at the top of the window (much better, BTW).

% ls ~/project/install/insight/bin
gdb  itclsh3.0  itkwish3.0  tclsh  tixindex  wish

What is going on, what ever became of tom's patch
to rename the "gdb" executable to "insight"?

P.S.
Colin, the answer to your question is run the
gdb executable in the install/bin dir.

Insight ?

[Colin Johnson]

Hi,

I've tried a few visual front ends for GDB, the last being CodeMedic but 
found it so bug ridden it was a toil.

Being a Windows programmer for years I'm getting very interested in Linux 
and have developed one project under FreeBSD.

I need a good debugger that allows me to set watches, examine variables etc
and was pleased to find Insight by trawling the Net.

Being fairly new to Linux (I've been using it on and off for about a year) 
I'm not convinced that I've installed it correctly.

I downloaded 19990727.bz2, unzipped it to the tar file, un-tarred it and 
rebuilt everything.

I then ran make install and it seemd to complete OK.

The installation seemed to create a load of files, including GDB itself and 
left it in the insight-19990727 directory under my home directory.

Running either this gdb or the one in /usr/bin doesn't invoke the GUI 
interface for Insight I was expecting.
It just gives plain old gdb.

Is their a command line switch for invoking the GUI ?

Thanks

Colin Johnson
