gdb-gui This is gdb-gui, a GUI for gdb. This GUI differs from existing gdb GUIs in a few ways: * It runs in-process. * It is written in Python. * It is intended to interoperate well with the CLI. You can pick and choose which windows you want to see, and you can still do whatever you like in the terminal. * It is totally incomplete. To get started, install the prerequisites. You'll need a Python-enabled gdb, PyGObject, and PyGktSourceView. (And maybe more -- if you trip across something, let me know.) You'll need the Python development package to compile the small C module that is included here. On Fedora I think this suffices: sudo yum install gdb python-devel gtksourceview3 pygobject3 After you install this, type "make". Now, start gdb and source the "gdb-gui.py" file. This sets everything up. If you want it to always be available, you can use "make hack-gdbinit", which will add the appropriate "source" line to your ~/.gdbinit. This adds a new "gui" command and various subcommands to gdb. A simple subcommand to try is "gui source", which pops up a source window. The source window will automatically track your progress when debugging. You can make multiple source windows; they will be reused in an LRU fashion. If you want to hack on this, you will need Glade to edit the UI elements. For Fedora 18, you'll need a special hack to make the gtksourceview widget visible to Glade.
