Global Options Dialog</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>To specify some global options, choose <i>Settings|Global Options</i>. 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>
|

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>

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>

|
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>

|
|
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>
