This is a port of GNU debugger (GDB) 7.2 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

  GDB is a source-level debugger for C, C++, Pascal, Objective-C and many
  other languages.  GDB can target (i.e., debug programs running on) more
  than a dozen different processor architectures, and GDB itself can run
  on most popular GNU/Linux, Unix and Microsoft Windows variants.


  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================

  - The config.sub script has been adjusted in such a way that it returns the
    same ID string than config.guess does.  This ensures that all DJGPP versions
    are well recognized allowing to compile a working DJGPP port of GDB using
    djdev203 or djdev204 and tools compiled with either of both versions.

  - The gdb/configure script has been adjusted to also check for pdcurses.
    This is necessary to be able to compile a GDB version with TUI support.

  - I have added the complete /bfdsymify directory from the last GDB port.
    Only the Makefile has been adjusted to work with this new version.

  - The port contains both versions of GDB.  The first one has been compiled
    with TUI, mpc, mpfr, gmp, zlib and pdcurses support enabled.  The second
    one only with mpc, mpfr, gmp and zlib support enabled.

  - The original distribution comes with DJGPP support files.  I have not used
    them so I do not know if the DJGPP support is really up to date.

  - The port has been compiled on WinXP Pro SP3 using GCC 4.5.2 and LFN support.
    I have never tried to compile on a SFN system.


  Please note that I have no insight neither in GDB sources nor in BFD sources.
  I have compiled the sources out-of-the-box.  If it does not work for you, you
  should report it at c.o.m.d but I cannot garantee that I can solve the issue.

  To compile the sources like I have done you will need the following ports:
    <ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/zlib125b.zip>
    <ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/pdcur34a.zip>
    <ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/gmp501b.zip>
    <ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/mpc082b.zip>
    <ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/mpfr300b.zip>
  or:
    <ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/zlib125b.zip>
    <ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/pdcur34a.zip>
    <ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/gmp501b.zip>
    <ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/mpc082b.zip>
    <ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/mpfr300b.zip>

  The binary package contains both versions of the debugger, gdbtui.exe is the
  one with TUI support and gdb.exe is the one without TUI support.  You can use
  the one you prefer and delete the other one.

  As usual, all djgpp specific files (config.bat, diffs, README files, etc.)
  are located in the /djgpp directory.  The suorces have not been configured.

  For further information about GDB please read the info docs and NEWS file.




  The port consists of the usual four packages that have been compiled
  using stock djdev203 and that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com
  and mirrors as (time stamp 2011-01-27):
