Message-Id: <200011141759.MAA01326@delorie.com> Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2000 19:57:21 +0200 (IST) From: Eli Zaretskii X-Sender: eliz AT is To: djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GDB 5.0 uploaded Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com This is to announce that the DJGPP port of version 5.0 of the GNU Debugger (GDB) package is available from SimTel.NET mirrors worldwide: ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdb500b.zip ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdb500a.zip ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdb500s.zip ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdb500d.zip ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdb500s2.zip - gdb500b.zip includes gdb.exe and the docs. - gdb500a.zip includes the libraries (libbfd, libopcodes, libmmalloc, libibert, and libgdb) which are produced as part of GDB build. - gdb500d.zip includes HTML/DVI/PS docs. - gdb500s.zip includes the sources required for building the DJGPP port of GDB. - gdb500s2.zip includes the rest of the source distribution which is not required for building the DJGPP port. GDB is a very powerful source-level debugger. This release has no major new features as far as the DJGPP port is concerned, since all of the major improvements (much more reliable and flexible watchpoint support; FP code debugging; support for debugging programs which use signals, change working directories, and redirect standard handles; etc.) were already included in the DJGPP port of GDB 4.18. One important change is that from now on, the official GDB distribution supports compilation with DJGPP out of the box. All the scripts and configuration files required for the DJGPP build are included in the official GNU source distribution. See the file NEWS for the full list of the new features. 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).
