Hi, I was hoping to download insight which I read about in a magazine and I
got a "snapshot" of what looks to me to be the actual code. Is there a
compiled version available with install wizard etc... for WinNT. I have an
external Jeeni/ARM Embedded ICE and want to use something like Insight (due
to its reported nice GUI) to drive the thing. I am porting a blob of code
written under MS VC++ to an embedded world an want to reduce learning curves
for a non-GUI debugger.

What do I need to do?

Mumit Khan has binaries for the cygwin environment.  Check out
http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ide-and-gui.html
http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/cygwin/ports/

You will need to install Cygwin if you use this version.
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/
http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/

I don't know if he has ported it to Mingw (ie. standard MS DLLs).
If it has then you will not need to install cygwin.

For information on Mingw and Cygwin, check out
http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/

The web page (https://sourceware.org/insight/downloads.php) seems to
have no mention of this repository.  The patch below applied to the
old cvs repository might fix this...

I dropped all reference to "nightly snapshots" as the last one is from
2009, I also dropped the paragraph about GDB support tools as it
didn't seem helpful.

Once upon a time I did have CVS write access for binutils and GDB, so
I have no idea if I would be able to commit this or not. Happy to try
if that would be helpful though.

Thanks,
Andrew

Build from the repo. That's what Patrick and I do.

$ git clone git://sourceware.org/git/insight.git

Follow directions in the README.

Insight is a great GUI to GDB, but it is too old. the newest version is only 6.8-1,2009.
My gcc is 7.3, and the ELF file which is compiled by gcc 7.3  was not compatible with gdb 6.8. 
I wonder  how does the Insight work correctly with the newer GDB?
THANKS!

The easiest way is to get it from the cygwin installer at cygwin.com.

See if you have an executable named "insight'.

That should be command you type to get the GUI.

FYI,

Are you using I.E?  I.E. can become confused when the FTP server rejects
a connection because there are two many users.  Try again later or try
netscape which does manage to display all the information.

	enjoy,

I just went to

ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/gdb/snapshots/

and was able to download without a password. Could
you try it again to make sure?

Perhaps we have an "anti-monopoly" dns filter on
the download that I was not aware of:)

Andy,

If you did install this in a common location, then you will probably
have to do something like install the package in a temporary location,
then write a script that traverses the /tmp/insight tree, and in
parallel the normal prefix tree, and removes all the files in the
latter that are also in the former.

If you still have the build tree around, you can do the first step with:

make install-gdb prefix=/tmp/insight

The problem with this is that if you had tcl8.0, tk8.0 or Itcl3.0.1
installed on your machine in the same prefix directory, then this will
blow away the old tcl libraries & executables, probably not what you
wanted.

You can do this, however, and then reinstall Tcl from Scriptics or
wherever.

In general, as others have pointed out, its probably better not to
install a new package in your standard install directory.  You can
generally configure the prefix to be some temporary location, install
there, and keep the build tree around, and then when you know you like
the new package, rerun the make install passing the prefix argument
for the permanent location.

The installation directory is $exec_prefix/bin, which is usually the same as
$prefix/bin.  I generally configure stuff so that it gets put in its own
directory.  eg. configure --prefix=/usr/local/insight.  That way I can blow
away the directory without affecting other program installations.  "make
install" will then install everything in subdirectories of /usr/local/insight.
eg /usr/local/insight/bin.  Remeber that the default prefix is /usr/local which
means insight will share the bin directory (/usr/local/bin) with many other
programs if you don't specify --prefix on the configure line.

Brendan Simon.

Us the --prefix argument to the configure script to indicate
a directory where you want to install it. It you want to remove
everything, just rm -rf the install directory.

How do I get it off my machine?  There's no uninstall target in the
makefile, and the install target installs hundreds of files... not exactly
easy to track them all down.

I feel that these are reasonable questions.  Any help you could offer
would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!
