[Dickinson, Derek]

I've seen this problem in 6.0.  However, the status bar reappears as soon as
I resize the Source Window.
Good Luck,
Derek

Many thanks! I had cygwin specific problems to rebuild configure, but 
after switching to a Linux box for that, the rest worked fine.

I've noticed a different problem: The Source Display Status Bar 
(offering file/function selection below the Toolbar) doesn't appear when 
I invoke Insight 6.1 using the
-command <commandfile>
option. This still worked in 5.3. For me it's quite annoying, since I 
used this feature very much. It can also be done by the Function browser 
Menu, but not as quick. Any hints?

All the best
Peter

Yes -- the patch could be incorrect. I haven't investigated it fully.
(For example: why is this patch not needed on linux -- only cygwin?)

Until I feel confident that it is the correct patch and understand the
problem, I won't submit it for approval.

I just did a fetch from cvs a couple of days ago and the mentioned patch 
doesn't appear to be in the system. Is this intentional?

It appears on resize indeed. Further remarks see reply to Keith.

At first I thought the problem was triggered by "--command" in general, 
but now I see that it depends on the contents of the commandfile. My 
original file was:

file test.x
set remotebaud 115200
set remotetime 1
set debug remote 0
target remote com2
load test.x

The critical instruction seems to be "target remote com2". (BTW it is 
executed, otherwise I couldn't download to the remote target). When I 
remove "target remote com2", and consequently the "load test.x", the 
problem disappears. Removing only "load test.x" doesn't help.

I have noticed that "target remote com2" causes an error window "no 
shared library support for this OS/ABI" to pop up. I could imagine the 
problem is somhow related to this window, since the audit trail of PR253 
reported the same when the Local Variables window is open at startup.

The error window did not appear in Insight 5.3, too.

All the best
Peter

Hmm. I've tried a simple test case and could not reproduce this:

$ cat commands
set $i=0
while $i<10
set $i=$i+1
printf "Hello: %d\n",$i
end

$ ./insight --command commands gdb

And Insight came up as expected (on linux). I'll see if I cannot steal
some windows time later.

I welcome any other hints you may have.

Try resizing the window. It usually appears. See PR insight/253 I thing.

Insight 6.1 Cygwin GUI

[Peter Graf]

Hi,

the gdb -w option to start up the GUI doesn't seem to work with the 6.1 
release under Cygwin. I'm pretty sure the reason must be something 
trivial, since I had no compilation problems and the ususal GUI related 
Object files seem to be there. I target cross-debugging for PowerPC, and 
configured with:

../insight-6.1/configure --target=powerpc-eabi 
--prefix=/ecos-t/powerpc-eabi-insight-6.1

Is there an configuration option or make target I have to add? Or is 
there a new runtime switch for the GUI?

Thanks,
Peter

PS: Sorry if that has been asked here before, but a few hours search 
through the docs and list archive didn't lead me further. I'm not used 
to this problem from version 5.3.
