I know what dbx is and I am not complaining about it per se merely the version I have

The version I have is

7.3.1 MP Oct26 2000

which is quite old and does not recognice the 600MHZ processors I have.

What's "official" about dbx? I don't even have it on my system, with what I thought was a complete install of MIPSPro 7.4.3... :cry:

Well,

I think that the dbx as standard comes from the original unix school of thought that dbx is typically the default debugger.

That said, I have given up on the number of errors from gdb7.6, I also tried to compile this with gcc and again a number of weird errors.

So I decided to backtrack to gdb7.5. At least the gcc compile went through without errors.

I'll give a try and see how it goes .

Cheers

it's not part of mipspro but still the debugger from sgi hence "official".

dbx is on the ProDev WorksShop disc. The last ProDev WorksShop disc (2.9.5) has dbx 7.3.7. Patch SG0005926: DBX 7.3.7 Debugger fixes rollup #1 applies.
Code:
janjaap@speedo:~$ dbx
dbx version 7.3.7 (96413_Dec19 patchSG0005926) Dec 19 2005 14:42:01
Debugger Server version Dec 19 2005 14:44:41
(dbx) quit

It's not nodelocked. Install & enjoy :)

Well that's weird, I have the latest version of Prodev Workshop that I installed from the CD, yet `which dbx` gives nothing... :shock:
