gud settings

[andrea]

I was trying to use gud (I need at least gdb and pdb) but I'm not able
to abilitate the multi-window setting.

I've set up the variables
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gdb-many-windows t)
(setq gdb-show-main t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But nothing, I only see one buffer...
I've found many nice things on the net but I'm not able to get even the
basic things working..

How to you start gdb?

I start debugging a C program "files" like this for instance:-

gdb --annotate=3 files

gdb-many-windows only works with M-x gdb

You give no clues, not even the version of Emacs that you are using. It must be at least
Emacs 22.1 and you mustn't delete the option "--annotate=3" from:

Run gdb (like this): gdb --annotate=3 myprog

I suggest you read the section on "Debuggers" in the Emacs manual.

Yes you're right sorry I wasn't very clear.
GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1
(i386-apple-darwin9.8.0, NS apple-appkit-949.54) of 2009-09-16 on
neutron.local

I've normally used gnu-gdb because simply gdb didn't work, I get this
error now running *gdb --annotate=3 myprog*:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
error-begin
Undefined command: "9-break-list". Try "help".
error
pre-prompt
prompt
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I think this version uses GDB/MI, so if you've just created an executable
myprog, say, should start like this:

Run gdb (like this): gdb -i=mi myprog

^^^^^^^
gud-gdb?

You must have customized something, or have old lisp files (gdb-ui.el) in your
load-path.

Try emacs -Q and then M-x gdb.
