I didn't get any response the first time I asked this, so I'll try
again.
I'm trying to learn how to use gdb and can't seem to get the
``-tty=<device>'' option to work.
OK, I start 2 shell windows, ttyp1 and ttyp2.
Start gdb in ttyp1 with ``gdb -tty=/dev/ttyp2 prog''.
I get the ``(gbd)'' prompt.
Type ``r''
but then get an error in *ttyp2* ``cannot use /dev/tty for input''
(note it says ``tty'' not ``ttyp2'').
I'm using shelltool(1) under olvwm for this but I get the same problem
if I use xterms or the console (ttyv[012]).
How do you make this work? Can anyone help?
Thanks
