Insight GUI for GDB for mips target

Insight GUI for GDB for mips target

[Rob Snyder]

We have gdb configured for a remote target = mips-ecoff 
and host = i686-pc-cygwin

We want to use insight windows GUI on top of this version of GDB.

What is the best way to go about installing that?  I tried a cygwin
installation from the web, but it only installed gdb to run on the PC and
not the remote target.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

You will need to get the sources for insight from
http://sources.redhat.com/insight and build a mips-ecoff version. Unlike
other debuggers based on gdb, Insight is built INTO gdb: they are the same
executable.

When you build and install from these sources, you should have yet another
"mips-ecoff-gdb", which will give you Insight. Using "mips-ecoff-gdb -nw",
you can supress the gui and use the command line.
