- Mxgdb is a motif translation of xxgdb (which is based on xdbx).
- Mxgdb is a GUI for the GNU Debugger (gdb) and provides a point-and-click
- interface to the debugger. It is currently in a beta-test version
- (1.0.4) but is fully functional and runs on BSD and SYSV based systems.
- Here is the RADME file included with the source:

- This is a beta release of a Motif translation of xxgdb.
- During translation alot has been changed to fit the Motif style
- and my own personal preference. You may not agree with some of the
- changes and I ask that you let me know; I'll listen at the very least.
-
- A bug which is in this version and which I have no time to fix
- is with the handling of the vertical scroll bar for the source
- window. Some source files may cause the scroll bar to fail. If you
- notice this problem please let me know and give some details as
- to how you found it.
-
- The 'display' window command could also be spruced up. Send comments on
- this.
-
- When writing GUI's its a big help if you know what the final look will be
- before you start so I am eager to hear from people who wish to see a
- particular look.

- Build notes:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- To build on SCO Unix or Bull DPX/ProStation 25 add -Dsco and -DSYSV.
-
- To build on Bull DPX/2-[23]00 add -DNCLX, -DSYSV and -Dncl_mr.
-
- To build on ISC UNIX add -DSYSV -DSVR4_PTY. (Tested with X386 only.)
-
- To build on Sun 4 and Sun 3 use -DSYSV and -DSUNOS4 if using SunOS 4.0 or
- earlier, and usr /usr/5bin/cc compiler. If using SunOS 4.1 do not used -DSYSV
- or -DSUNOS4 and use the normal compiler.
-
- To build on SVR4 add -DSYSV and -DSVR4_PTY.
-
- To build on BSD add nothing and cross your fingers.
-
- To build on SystemV.3 add -DSYSV and cross your fingers.
-
- To build on MIPS RISC/OS or Bull BOS/RISC use the bsd43 systype (which is the
- default imake) and add nothing.
-
- Mxgdb now supports /dev/ptmx (or SVR4 style) pseudo-tty's. If your system
- has these types of pty's use -DSVR4_PTY when building.
-
- GNU malloc is supplied with mxgdb to help improve speed. You may need to add
- flags in order to build malloc.o. If you do not wish to use GNU malloc or if
- you have trouble building gnu malloc, remove the malloc.c and malloc.o entries
- in the Imakefile.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Mxgdb is successfully running on a variety of systems. If you get it working on
- a system not listed here. Let me know so I can include it on the list
- and add the compilation options.
-
- This version of mxgdb will not work with gdb-3.98 since the command formats
- have changed with this release. I will most likely fix this with gdb-4.0.
-
- Documentation will not be written for mxgdb at least until I am satisfied with
- the interface. If someone wishes to write documentation I will gladly help.
-
- Enjoy.
-
- -Jim.
