Bug 1695 – kdbg doesn't depend on debugger

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Nils Ohlmeier 2002-04-12 11:48:36 UTC]

kdbg can be installed without any debugger installed.
but without it's nearly useless :)

Is this really a thing that needs fixing?

Does it work with other debuggers than gdb ?

[Comment 3 Nils Ohlmeier 2002-04-13 09:29:45 UTC]

It seems that it only supports gdb (i thought i would also support other debuggers).
I would say it's missings dependecies in the ebuild. But maybe you are right,
that people which uses a debugger frontend are able to interpret the error
message "Couldn't start debugger" correct and install the gdb first.

I'll leave it to you to add a dep or just close the bug :)

Added a runtime dependency for >=sys-devel/gdb-5.0, as kdbg is really useless
without it.
