Description Yuri Karaban 2004-01-31 03:11:53 UTC
GDB has nice text user interface (--enable-tui).
There are no possibility to turn on this feature in portage.

Please add such use flag or even consider turn this option by default.
To run gdb with TUI mode need to run 'gdb --tui', so if turn this option by default, it does not harm default gdb behavior.



Reproducible: Always

Please consider making a patch to the current package in question and attaching it here.

Seems that gdb 6.2.1 enables tui by default and there are no need to pass it to configure.
