You +can set the following:</p> +<ul> +<li> +the command by which gdb is invoked,</li> + +<li> +the command that opens a terminal for the program's output,</li> + +<li> +whether the KDbg shall pop into the foreground when the program stops and +a timeout when it shall go back again,</li> + +<li> +the tab width,</li> + +<li> +filters for source file names.</li> +</ul> + +<h4> +How to invoke gdb</h4> + +<blockquote>If you want to use a different version of gdb, you can specify +it under +<i>How to invoke GDB</i>. The default command is <tt>gdb --fullname +--nx</tt>. Be sure to also specify these options if you change the gdb +executable. If you leave them away, KDbg will not work. If you messed up +the entry, you can clear it to revert to the default setting.</blockquote> + +<h4> +How to invoke a terminal emulator</h4> + +<blockquote>If you want to use a different terminal program to show the +output of the program, specify it under <i>Terminal for program output</i>. +The default setting is <tt>xterm -name kdbgio -title %T -e sh -c %C</tt>. +In this entry, +<tt>%T</tt> will be replaced by a title string, <tt>%C</tt> +will be replaced by a Bourne shell script that loops infinitely so that +the terminal window doesn't close. (No, it doesn't use CPU, it calls <tt>sleep +3600</tt> in a loop :) An alternative for this setting could be <tt>konsole +--name kdbgio --caption %T -e sh -c %C</tt>.</blockquote> + +<h4> +Pop into foreground</h4> + +<blockquote>You can specify whether the KDbg window shall move itself into +the foreground as soon as the program being debugged stops (at a breakpoint +or due to a signal). The KDbg window is not activated, however (at least +under KWM, the KDE window manager). Some users may feel that this behavior +is intrusive, so this option is off by default.</blockquote> + +<blockquote>If this option is on, KDbg will also retreat itself into the +background when the program is continued by any command, but it does so +only after a timeout that can be specified. This avoids that the debugger +window flashes back and forth each time you click any of the <i>Step</i> +commands.</blockquote> + +<h4> +File filters</h4> + +<blockquote>You can specify wildcards for source files and header files, +which are used in the file dialog of the <i>File|Open Source</i> +command.</blockquote> + +</body> +</html> |
