Can you, or someone else, please describe in a few words what > does "enable the MI interface" mean, in practical terms, for a port > such as the DJGPP port? Nothing (yes, ok famous last words :-). At present the gdb/mi directory isn't built. Enabling the MI would mean building that directory and linking it into GDB. For a DJGPP user, this just means that GDB gained a few kilos. The big change really occured ~2 months ago when ui-out became the normal mechanism to use when outputing something. Since the old *_printf() interface remains, no one noticed (1) :-) enjoy, Andrew (1) Almost no one. There were a few bugs where the output changed slightly and where found the output was fixed.
