GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions. Type "show copying" to see the conditions. There is absolutely no warranty for GDB. Type "show warranty" for details. This GDB was configured as "i386-marcel-freebsd"... (gdb) b main Breakpoint 1 at 0x1470: file kcheckpass.c, line 297. (gdb) run --nofork Starting program: /usr/ports/x11/kdebase3/work/kdebase-3.5.10/kcheckpass/kcheckpass --nofork Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted. The program no longer exists. You can't do that without a process to debug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
