Hello. I am Ben Teifeld, and I am an assistant sysop on the Chicago Public Schools CPSNET bbs. I am responsible for bringing up utilities and helping debug other software we use here. We are running a UNISYS 6000/75 with the Dynix/ptx 1.3 operating system. This is a multiprocessor intel 486 machine. I have been trying to get gdb 4.5 running. The configuration I supply to the configure command is i386-coff-sysv. I first needed to add #includes of our file <sys/mount.h> to get the DIRSIZ definition for a few files that needed it. I also needed to get our <sys/ttold.h> in combination with a #define in order to get the 'tc' structure in that file equivalenced to become a 'tchars' structure. After effecting these modifications, the program successfully compiled with GCC with the -traditional option. I can run gdb, get a message indicating that it has loaded the symbols in the executable file, and then get a command prompt from gdb. The problem arises when I try to use the run command. I type 'run', and then I am left with no further output. Ctrl-c cannot abort the program, and I am at a loss for what to do. Is there a better configuration for me to choose? Have you encountered anyone else with similar experience? All of us here at the Board of Education would deeply appreciate any assistance you could provide.
