From: Alex Bennee To: gdb@sources.redhat.com Content-Type: text/plain Organization: Hackers Inc Message-Id: <1045500565.2505.20.camel@cambridge.braddahead> Mime-Version: 1.0 Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2003 16:55:00 -0000 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-SW-Source: 2003-02/txt/msg00265.txt.bz2 I thought I would give the latest gdb(5.3) a spin and see if it could interface with ST's gdb server to talk to my ICE. The original gcc is dated 20020211. Happy that it all built ok for my target system it fell over on startup because the "fork" command used to lauch the gdbserver seems to of disapeared: fork shlaunch -si $arg0 -gdbserv host=$arg1 -cid0 host=$arg1 noposixconsole Is there a drop-in replacement? I greped the Changelogs but all the fork references seem to be talking about debugged processes rather than commands. -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ "I'm a cat person, myself," she said, vaguely.
