[gvd-users] Win2000 questions form a new user

[David Brown]

Hi Andy,

I use gvd along with a patched gdb for the 68332 processor - I guess the
arangement is something similar.  I run mostly under W2K, and sometimes
under Linux (one of the joys of gvd is how simple it was to get running
under both platforms).  My setup is with gvd installed in c:\gvd, and my
patched gdb (m68k-bdm-elf-gdb) copied into c:\gvd\bin (I don't think this
arrangement is necessary, but it is convenient).  I then have a batch file
called "gvd.bat", in a directory on my path, containing the one line:
    c:\gvd\bin\gvd --debugger c:\gvd\bin\m68k-bdm-elf-gdb %1 %2 %3 %4 %5
I call it with "gvd dbug.elf", where "dbug.elf" is my target executable.

I take it you can run your command-line gdb properly with the target file,
using your equivilent of "m68k-bdm-elf-gdb dbug.elf" ?

Hope that gives you some hints.

mvh.

David

> I have just installed GVD and I am trying to use it to debug code written
for a DSP which uses a derivative of GDB as its debugger. The debugger is
located on the same machine as the compiled executable and GVD.

point it at the inferior debugger by using File-> Open New debugger I can't
work out where to put the debugger executable and the program to be
debugged. The only configuration which appears to get any result is to put
the executable to be debugged in the "Program File" field and the inferior
debugger executable in the "Debugger Host" field. In this case GVD starts up
and opens its three windows but as soon as I try to do anything I get a
dialog box with "The debugger stopped unexpectedly" and everything closes.

can't run GVD from the command line, each time I enter "gdv <return>"
nothing happens. There is no complaint that the file does not exist or is
not an executable. My next attempt was to create a shortcut and put the
command line switches in there. Again nothing happens unless I get the
switches wrong in which case a dialog box appears telling me what switches
are allowed.
