Re: Insight on Cygwin : GUI is not showing up

[Accounts <accounts@sakuraindustries.com>]

Hi Dave,

You do know that Insight is still in the GDB CVS Tree dont you?

Also, the Insight website has some recent CVS Snapshots, which should 
build OK.

That might be a lot easier than trying to take the insight code from 6.1 
and inject it onto GDB6.3 (without insight).  There have been a number 
of patches since then (just no official release).

Steven.
