Please remember that you are using free software; the value you get out
of it is roughly proportional to the effort you put in (as opposed to
what you paid for it!). Be patient, and persevere.
GNAT/GDB is all based on the gnu software. For me, the best way to learn
how to use it is to download the sources from MIT
(ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/), because the sources usually have more
complete documentation (and if you've got lots of time, you can actually
read the code :).
How much did you pay for your C/C++ environment? For about the same
amount, you can buy an Ada compiler, and get a tech person to call.
That said, I've used both ObjectAda (Professional Edition) and GNAT/GDB,
and I prefer GNAT/GDB (except when I need to use Windows resources). But
I've gone thru the process of configuring it and learning how to read
the manuals. I still can't get GDB to work properly on my machine at
work under Win95; but that machine also has NT, where GDB works fine.
