This is yet another of those FAQs. MIPS (including DEC Ultrix) uses a somewhat unusual debugging format. Mike Meissner (meissner@osf.org) added support to gcc 1.39 to emit this format, but these changes aren't "officially" endorsed by FSF, and don't appear in the version available from them. They WILL appear in the official version of gcc2 when it is released. I think the requisite patches for gcc 1.39 are available via anonymous ftp from foobar.cs.colorado.edu. With these patches, gcc compiled code can be debugged with either dbx or gdb. Mike has also added support so that stabs (the BSD debugging format) can be encapsulated in a MIPS executable file. Together with appropriate gdb support, this is the only real way to support g++ debugging on MIPS boxes at this time. Hope this helps. -- Bruce -- Bruce Bauman email: boot@osf.org phone: 617-621-7205 Open Software Foundation, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA, 02142
