You have to change it anyway - *any* default will be wrong for a majority of users. On my work machine, I have these versions: /opt/cgdb/bin/powerpc-eabi-gdb /opt/cgdb/bin/sh-elf-gdb /opt/gdb-6.3/bin/powerpc-eabi-gdb /opt/gdb-6.5/bin/powerpc-eabi-gdb /opt/gdb-6.7.1/bin/arm-elf-gdb /opt/gdb-6.7.1/bin/powerpc-eabi-gdb /opt/gdb-6.7.1/bin/sh-elf-gdb /opt/gdb-6.8/bin/arm-elf-gdb /opt/gdb-6.8/bin/powerpc-eabi-gdb which are used for different projects. Whichever is the default is wrong for most work, and if the default is any one of these instead of the native gdb, it won't help a bit for any debugging work that requires a different one. cu Michael _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
