Re: [Dev-C++] Insight Debugger questions

I think you're so right, Alfred, as  the two just don't mix if you use =
the wrong stuff.  I'm still very new to it but getting to really love it =
for experimenting around and have a few nice simple programs working to =
my satisfaction now.  I'm an old man by age but young at heart at 76 so =
have the time to help where I can.  So all can know once and for all I'm =
using Ivor Horton's huge book which really goes into C++ with a bang.  =
You young guys learn when you're young as it's harder to sink in as you =
get older. =20

I used to do a lot of work with Lattice C on the Old Amiga Computer =
which was the best little computer around but. . . .one has to move on.  =
I'm using XP now which is as far as I'm going but have looked at the =
other side a bit and for those who use Linux or what ever that's a good =
platform too.  My son got me halfway into it and then left me floating =
until I got back to my Windows. =20

    Have fun guys and help the other guys out as that makes it even more =
fun.

  Hi again,

  Are you on a Windows or Linux platform?  I believe that the the =
*.tar.bz2 is for Linux and most probably will not work on Windows =
platforms.  Anybody out there that knows different, please correct me.  =
Looking at the tarball from ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gdb/releases/ =
shows that it doesn't contain the executable and must therefore be =
built!  Can't help there, as I have only used the =
Insight_Binary.DevPack.

  Here's my recommendation.  Start Dev-Cpp, and proceed to Tools --> =
Check for Updates/Packages...

  On the WebUpdate window that pops up depress the Check for Updates =
button.  You may be asked to download the mirrors list.  Do so and =
re-start the WebUpdate window.  If that happens, again press the Check =
for Updates button.  Scrolling about 1/3 of the way down, find =
Insight_Binary and check that package. Depress Download Selected, and =
follow the prompts.  This is the method that works for the Windows =
platform.

  I can't report on it's Linux compatibility, as I don't have access to =
a Linux platform.

  Hope this helps!

  Sincerely,

  Al

      Hi,

      I assume that by 'downloaded' you mean the package, =
Insight_Binary.DevPak.  If you did that, then you must install it via =
the package manager, Packman.exe.  Other than that, all that would cause =
a can't find *.exe is a path problem. Also look in the package manager =
to insure that GDB is an installed package. =20

      Packages installed via the package manager should install and work =
correctly, as opposed to compiling your own package from the sources.  =
If you compiled Insight from the sources, then you may have to manually =
move things around to get them into the proper folders.
