Re: ddd/gdb

[Tom Wurgler]

Using: DDD 3.3.8, gdb 6.0, gcc-3.3.2, HP-UX 11.0

Ok, I've found some answers.  If I compile my fortran program with g77, then
I can examine variables etc as I'd expect both in gdb command line and via ddd.
If I use HP's f77, then I can't. 

This brings up some questions:

1) DDD/GDB were compiled with gcc 3.3.2.  Does this mean I can only debug
   programs compiled with the maching g77? 

2) If I recompile DDD/GDB with HP's cc, can I debug f77 compiled programs
   and g77 compiled programs?

3) Or am I just not getting it?  What am I missing?

I will be experimenting with the various combos, but figured I'd ask the list to
gain any other opinions/experiences.

Thanks
tom
