    I'm in a similar situation as the Solaris user, sanjit_rath. 

    I'm not allowed to use the gcc compiler on my AIX 5.3 host.  I need to use xlc or another IBM compiler.  I'd love to see native support for it. 

    Does anyone know if we can get this working with BVRDE as it stands today? 

    Thanks,
    CJackson0

      Hi,

      I don't see why not. The compiler should not be a problem, basically BVRDE executes the 'make' command and you are free to configure how it builds your project.

      The problem sanjit_rath describes is that the Solaris comes with the DBX debugger. You can find a GDB debugger on AIX.
      The next version of BVRDE will support the DBX debugger; at least with the latest version on OpenSolaris. Unfortunately DBX comes in many flavours, so how much compatibility with old versions will have to be seen.

        Nice to hear that DBX will soon be supported, in fact I had also started enhancing it for DBX, however due to shortage of time could not progress much.

        Bjarke, when are you planning DBX supported beta release ?

      The DBX stuff is already checked into the CVS repository.

      Initially I expect a version that targets the DBX shipped with the current OpenSolaris. It should work with other versions as well, but the DBX output is a lot less structured than GDB/MI.

    Hi bjarke,

    DBX is supported, but it echoes an error when you are watching variables due the trailing" ## dbx" string instead to print the the variable value.
    In order to use fully DBX inside BVRDE,  I did some little updates on commands sent to DBX.
    I would like to contribute with this great IDE!
    Only one file had updates DbxAdaptor.cpp.
    Could you grant commit on CVS?
    If you prefer I can send you the file :)
    Let me know what is your decision.

    Best Regards
    Leo

    Thanks.

    If it just for one file, I'd prefer that you e-mail it, or open/attach it to a tracker issue.

    regards
