RE: About Solaris versions.

[Yang, Xiao Dong (Xiao Dong)]

Andrew,
Thanks very much.
Because there are so many compile Errors in our source files with new gcc
version,
we can't use the latest gcc.
I have rebuild ddd 3.0 in Solaris 2.8
My question is:
Now we have multi versions of gdb,
gdb4.1.7 for Solaris 2.5.1
and gdb5.0 for Solaris 2.8
How ddd know which gdb should be invoked?
just depends on $PATH or because gdb and ddd in the same directory, such as
/usr/local/bin
Or something else?

Thanks.

You will almost certainly need to rebuild ddd, since it links with
libstdc++, which will change whenever gcc changes.  If you're upgrading,
I'd recommend the latest released versions of gcc, gdb, and gcc.
