Hi, when running a program from an GDB session within XEmacs under fullscreen-X11 a new "DOS-"console window will popup for the i/O of the program and so the context switches from X11 to this new console. This is quite annoying.
When running gdb from an xterm the programs I/O is also done on this xterm. (gdb) show new-console Creation of new console when creating child process is off. Using the "tty" gdb-command is no cure. Robert PS: Is there a way to teach GDB opening the program-file to debug read-only, in order to be able to rebuilt it without calling the "file" command twice, i.e. "file", "make", "file myprog.exe" -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
