Getting Started

To launch the GDB GUI, simply type gdb on the command line. If you are in a windowing environment and your DISPLAY variable is set, the Command Window and Source Window appear. To suppress the GUI, use the `-nw' (non-windowing) option on the command line.

If you move the binaries to somewhere other than their original location, you will need to set the following three environment variables:

TCL_LIBRARY
TK_LIBRARY
GDBTK_FILENAME

TCL_LIBRARY is the location of tcl code that tcl expects to be able to find, while TK_LIBRARY is the same for tk.

GDBTK_FILENAME is the pathname to the tcl code that actually defines the GDB graphical interface.
