Re: how to use libgdb ?

[Scott Moser <ssmoser@us.ibm.com>]

Well,
   there really is no libgdb at this point.
   There has been some talk of one by developers as something they'd
eventually like to do, but right not there is nothing available.

   However, the gdb build process (at least on linux) created libgdb.a
and then builds main.c with that to create gdb.  It is possible to
create libgdb.so rather than libgdb.a and dynamically link to the new
library.  It just takes some fiddling with the Makefile that configure
created.
   I've not done extensive testing on it, but it seems to work for me.
If you wanted to build your own app on that, you could get sample usage
from the main.c file

   I guess it should be pointed out, though, that the libgdb.so that you
create is a GPL'd work, so even dynamically linking to it then requires
that you GPL your application as well.
