I think you misunderstood my words. I'd say that FPC is supporting a particular version of libgdb. This is not about if the sources are official gdb sources or not, the issue is that in Debian only one gdb source package should exist and this is now 7.6.0. > > Few years ago, we made gdb folks create a libgdb package for us, > based > > on latest gdb code, but this was not really useful as FPC upstream > was > > not interested in pushing fp-ide to the latest libgdb, but also > because > > multiple dependencies of that lib are not packaged.

You can trust that I'm aware about this! We should use libgdb-dev from http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gdb.html we don't have the choice. But his was removed. You can see that http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libgdb-dev exists but http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libgdb-dev does not exist. Also please refer to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=706623#10 in answer to your own question! > For example, rpm package from Mageia works in Fedora, Alt Linux > without rebuilding and these distros > haves different versions of gdb, but fp uses only own gdb-7.5.1. Again I don't say this will not work, I just say we are not allowed to do it due to Debian policy restrictions on using object libraries. > > Now, to be honest, fp-ide is relying on a feature of gdb that is no > more maintained > It' s not truth, see comment from Pierre Muller > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=528855#30 I'm aware about this but it can't help here. We need libgdb-dev package to be resurrected. I'd suggest you contact gdb maintainers in Debian for this purpose. Or ask this on dd@l.d.o and get a consensus about it.

I've quite few stash on my git about fp-ide +gdb but none is linking. What I would accept is a patch you tested on sid. I can help you (offline this bug) to manage to have something working. Please email directly Debian Pascal packaging <pkg-pascal-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org> asking for instructions to build. Please keep in mind we are trying to help you, even if we are not interested in these features. So please be patient and keep cool. Cheers,
