Phindows and gdb -- doc guys???

We are having trouble using gdb through a Phindows session. I seem to recall
a posting that addressed this, and I can’t find it again.
We get an message about using /dev/ptyp1 - then when we type run we
don’t see anything any more. We look in pidin args, and see pdebug
/dev/ptyp1 –

So - what’s the proper way to set to use gdb over a Phindows session?

Thanks - Phil

Actually, it is when we type continue…then it goes away…

But if I walk over to our one-and-only NTO box, the same sequence works
flawlessly…

So - what’s the proper way to set up to use gdb over a Phindows
session?

We tried this and it appears to be fixed in patch A

I’m using patch A aka QNX 6 - so is there some magic to make it work? We are
using Phindows from a WinMe box to our QNX 6 development system. That locks
up the pterm session in Phindows when we enter ‘run’ then ‘cont’ … after
directory setup etc. If we do the same thing on a pterm session right at the
QNX6 screen, it all works as one would expect. Please outline the sequence
you use to load and start a program with gdb.

All I did was

gdb ./file
run
break main
cont

When the session is locked, could you get me a pidin, pidin mem, pidin args
ls -l /dev/ptyp* and ls -l /dev/ttyp*
