Hi group,

I am not sure I am in the right group, but nevertheless I will try.

I am trying to switch my programming efforts from using salford ftn77 to
use g77 under win98. The program compiles and runs fine, but one main
obstacle is that I cannot convince gdb to run my program. I have
compiled the files with 
g77 -fpedantic -Wall -g -c foo.for

and linked with
g77 -o $(PROG).exe $(OBJS)

including -g in the link step makes an error like 
C:\EMX\BIN\ld.exe: malformed input file (not rel or archive) dna.exe
so I think this is not needed for linking.

However if I try to do anything with the program in gdb it exits without
further notice.

A gdb session goes like this:
C:\dna\g77>gdb
GDB is free software and you are welcome to distribute copies of it

(gdb) file dna
Reading symbols from dna...done.
(gdb) info functions

C:\dna\g77>

So I don't get any response from the info, and if I try to run, it also
stops like this. 
What am I doing wrong?

Regards, 
Brian
