Debuggig

We are running QNX RTP 6.1 on a PC and on a MIPS R4000 variant.
What are people using for debuggig tools?
We have tried gdb but it seems nearly impossible to configure properly and
hopelessly primitive once configured. Is there anything better out there?

gdb is the only debugger I am aware of for gcc. It isn’t primitive in features,
just in interface. However, there are GUI debuggers that use gdb internally and
make it much much easier to use. The one for QNX is DDD (Insight is another but
I don’t think that’s been ported yet), and it is available in the QNX WWW
Repository (click “Installer”).

I ported Insight last month when I was working on XFree86 4.1 and ddd port.
(http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/openqnx). Unfortunately, I lost my
Qnx6, along with all my porting work for RTP, thanks to our IT for
upgrading my laptop from win98 to win2k. I will give it another try if
I can get a new PC for my Christmas and I will install RTP in its own
partition this time.
BTW, I remember Renie once mentioned he look at Insight along with
his source navigator port.

I haven’t looked at insight, but it would certainly be a welcome
addition to source navigator (that, and graphics drivers that don’t core
with SN at “high” resolutions :wink:
