= PS. Patches welcome to build using external tcl, tk, itcl...
The patch for the itcl code, to make it work with ITcl/ITk-3.3 can be found
here:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/devel/gdb6/files/itcl33-patch?rev=HEAD;content-type=text%2Fplain
FreeBSD port of gdb can now be (optionally) built with Insight. If the
GUI-option is enabled, the following additional flags are passed to gdb's
configure:
--enable-gdbtk --with-tclconfig=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.4 \
--with-tclinclude=/usr/local/include/tcl8.4/generic \
--with-tkconfig=/usr/local/lib/tk8.4 \
--with-tkinclude=/usr/local/include/tk8.4/generic \
--with-itclconfig=/usr/local/lib/itcl3.3 \
--with-itkconfig=/usr/local/lib/itk3.3
Note, that the obsolete version of itcl (and itk) bundled with insight is not
extracted. Instead, headers of ITcl and ITk 3.3 headers are sym-linked into
the (otherwise empty) itcl/generic subdirectory.
To spare the FreeBSD users the need to download the entire insight (22Mb), I
rolled my own tarball, which contains _only_ the gdb/gdbtk and the libgui
subdirectories of the distribution (845Kb):
http://aldan.algebra.com/~mi/gdbtk-6.6.tar.bz2
This is extracted on top of the gdb-6.6 sources, if the user asks for the GUI
option.
Please, consider upgrading your GUI code to ITcl/ITk-3.3 using the patch
provided.
Please, independently consider abandoning the practice of bundling
ITcl/IWidgets with Insight.
Please, independently consider releasing the Insight's _extra code_ in
_addition_ to the gdb tarball, instead of bundling gdb sources inside
Insight's.
Thank you,
-mi
