Re: Library interface to GDB

[Brendan Simon <brendan@dgs.monash.edu.au>]

It would be nice to write a GDB GUI with a cross platform toolkit such as
WxWindows.  WxWindows is an GUI API (C++ framework) and can be compiled to use
Motif, GTK, Qt, MSW and other Widget toolktis.  This way we can have naitvive
versions of the GDB GUI running on Linux, Windows, Unix, etc.
