It has many makefiles and more than 25 source files and some 9 header files. These were all compiled without gdb settings. That is, they were not compiled by having GDB in mind. It has no gdb enable settings in it. How to simultaneously enable GDB feature in all of these files and use GDB to debug the resultant application ? Any tricks to make the files that were 'without gdb enabled compilation' to be run under gdb ? How to enable them by some shortcut methods ? Kindly let me know and give some ideas too. Thanks & regards, karthik bala guru __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - Send 10MB messages! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
