Author GDB frontend in console mode

Does anyone know such thing? I'm looking for a comfortable way of debugging
on a system with very small resources. Without X and such things. A tool
resembling the old MsDos CodeView would be appropriate.

TIA,
Hans

http://cgdb.sourceforge.net/ , emacs, or perhaps just
run the X server on another host(forward X). Remote debugging
with gdb should be possible as well afaik.

Note that recent versions of gdb have a Curses text user
interface built in. But anyway, the plain old gdb interface with
readline is fine too.

You may also consider that patch at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/b...3/msg00019.html

to interface gdb with your favourite terminal text editor
(requires GNU screen).

Try http://dbvi.sourceforge.net/

It adds a gdb window to the bottom of a vi screen and integrates their
functionality. Works on HP, Sun and Linux. If you want the executables
for either of these systems go to

https://sourceforge.net/project/sho...lease_id=197636
