Hi,


I just want to ask a few question about insight:

1. Does it ships with it's own GDB?
2. Can it communicate with an "external" gdb server through a socket?
3. Does it uses the systems' tk library?

Thanks,
Levente

Yes, insight "is" gdb: running "insight -nw" will give you the CLI gdb. 
When you build insight, you get two executables: one is gdb, one is 
insight.

Yes, insight can do anything that gdb does.

On linux*, yes, it will use the system's tcl/tk/itcl. Simply remove the 
tcl, tk, and itcl directories from the source tree.

* I say linux because that is the only platform on which I've tested it. 
You cannot do this with either MinGW or Cygwin. Those platforms must use 
the in-tree tcl, tk, and itcl. [And the only reason they "must" use them 
is because no one has done the work to make the build do this.]
