This is a port of GNU debugger (GDB) 7.9.1 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 previous port still had a dependency of libiconv.  This dependency made
     it necessary to have the licv114br2 port installed to get gdb runing. Thus
     the previous port gdb791[a|b|d|s].zip has been considered to be brocken and
     has been removed.  Please replace it with this new one.

   - This is the first port that has been compiled using djdev205.  Starting
     with this port version I will no longer support neither djdev204 nor djdev203.

   - The port has been tested by using it.  I have used them only on WinXP.
     It has worked flawlessly.  I do not konw if this will ever be the case on
     FreeDOS.  I have never used/tested them in that environment.

   - The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3.  There is no
     guarantee that this may be possible with any other DOS-like OS.  Due
     to the massive use of long file names it will not be possible to configure
     and compile without LFN support.  The port has been compiled using gcc510
     and bnu225br2.

   - The port does neither provide NLS support nor TUI support.  No one of the
     required libraries have been ported using DJGPP 2.05.


   To compile the sources like I have done you will need the following ports:
     <ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/zlib128b.zip>
     <ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/pdcur34a.zip>
     <ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/gmp600ab.zip>
     <ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/mpc103b.zip>
     <ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/mpfr313b.zip>

   As usual, all djgpp specific files (build.sh, diffs, README files, etc.)
   are located in the /djgpp directory.  The /djgpp directory is the build
   directory; the sources have not been configured.

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




   The port consists of the usual three packages produced using djdev205
   that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (time tamp 2015-07-02):
