GDB is a source-level debugger for C, C++, Pascal and many other languages. It is available from SimTel.NET mirrors: Binary archive (most users need only this file, includes gdb.exe, bfdsymify.exe, etc): http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdb521b.zip&name=gdb521b.zip Source archive: http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdb521s.zip&name=gdb521s.zip GDB documentation in Postscript, DVI, PDF and HTML formats: http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdb521d.zip&name=gdb521d.zip I didn't create an archive with libbfd.a and other related libraries as it was recently done with release of DJGPP port of binutils-2.13 (see bnu213a.zip) New features that are noteworthy for DJGPP users: - Much better support of DWARF2 debugging info. Even more DWARF2 debugging info generated by gcc-3.1 and above is incompatible with GDB versions before 5.2. Now DWARF2 debugging info is the default with port of GCC-3.2, so it's highly recommeded to upgrade also to GDB-5.2.1. - Similary as in gdb511b.zip bfdsymify.exe is included. One should use bfdsymify instead of symify with stabs and DWARF2 debugging info. You can find additional information: - In files included in directory gnu/gdb-5.2_1 in archive gdb521b.zip - GDB home page http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/ Please direct any further discussions about this port to comp.os.msdos.djgpp news group (or write to its e-mail gateway djgpp AT delorie DOT com).
