Hiho people! Thanks to Paul's port of gdb-4.16, I'm happy to present a port of gdbtk-4.16; the pointy-clicky version of the (in)famous debugger. This is _not_ a frontend like DDD or xxgdb, but a built-in GUI for GDB by the Cygnus guys (yay!). A couple of things to note about this; the distfile is big (about 8M) and you will need a bit over 40M of disk to build it. (a bit sad for a 1M executable...) Also, if there's any good way of telling the patch process to go read the patch files from somewhere else _as_well_ as from the current port's patches/ directory, patch-aa - ad could be removed and those from pst's gdb-4.16 port referenced instead (so that if/when changes are made there they automatically follow through). Likewise for the files/ directory, with the exception (of course 8( ) of the md5 file. I had to make some yukko changes to the configure script to get it to pick up our oddly-named and placed Tcl/Tk shared libraries, but what's new? 8) Because the port's a bit big, I've put it on freefall in ~msmith/gdbtk.tar.gz (~ftp/incoming is just totally full of junk...) rather than posting it here.
