[gvd-users] GVD and Windows 98

[Fernando Lozano]

Hi there!

I've been using GVD 1.2.1 on a Windows 98 machine primarily as a 
debugger for Free Pascal programas, using the modified gdb shipped with 
fpc-1.0.4.

I updated to GVD 1.2.4 and now it won't run on my machine, giving a 
protection fault when I try to start it.

First question: from the web site I realize it was not supposed to work 
on Windows 98, only on NT/2000 systems. Is this right? What are the 
reasons? May I hope this will be reverted and I'll again be able to use 
future releases of GVD?

Second one: is there any plan to support the Pascal language, so I can 
navigate through Pascal records and linked structures on the Data Window?

By the way, some variables I am able to "print" can't be displayed on 
the data window. Could this be made possible even if the Data Window is 
not able to recongnize and parse the data types, just displaying 
whatever the "print" command from gdb shows?

Besides this, I am eager to see better Java and jdb support from GVD. 
This what I miss before making GVD my main debugger under Windows and 
GNU/Linux.
