Hello everyone,
I'm running the latest version of GDB for WinNT on Win95
(I was told it should work with the latest GNAT WinNT distribution),
and I just want to check on a few things:
1) Does GDB decide to spontaneously abort half the time you
load an executable?
2) Does GDB bring your entire system down to its knees when you
try to quit?
3) Is the online help broken? When you click on anything, does
it whine about not finding stdout or some Unix-ish nonsense?
4) Does GDB expect you to debug in C, even though you just
wrote your code in Ada?
I'm asking these questions because GDB is giving me all these
problems and more (no native look and feel, ad nauseum).
RTFM? Sure, once I find the FM!
With the online help being broken and nothing remotely resembling
documentation to be found, I can't find any information on this
at all.
I'm sorry if you are sick of hearing from me, but there is no
where else to turn. Nothing works, and the documentation
(when it is to be found) is 100% useless or worse (misleading).
The only thing now keeping me from reverting to C/C++ (at least
I know their distributions work), is the fact that there are
people here who claim to actually have this stuff working, so
I still have some glimmer of hope.
Thanks, and my email address is buggered so please post answers
here.
