Subject: Re:  debugger will not start

John,

It's strange, because libtool doesn't even do anything from the command
line. See below. What added value does it have (when working that is)
over directly invoking gdb?

Here's the output of the various commands:

[dizzl@newton dizzl]$ /bin/sh -c /mnt/share/iebserver/libtool gdb \
                /mnt/share/iebserver/src/iebserver -fullname -nx -quiet
libtool: warning: cannot infer operation mode without MODE-ARGS
libtool: you must specify a MODE
Try `libtool --help' for more information.

> What happens if you cd into /mnt/share/iebserver and then did it.

[dizzl@newton dizzl]$ cd /mnt/share/iebserver
[dizzl@newton iebserver]$ /bin/sh -c /mnt/share/iebserver/libtool gdb \
                /mnt/share/iebserver/src/iebserver -fullname -nx -quiet
libtool: warning: cannot infer operation mode without MODE-ARGS
libtool: you must specify a MODE
Try `libtool --help' for more information.

> And from .../src?

[dizzl@newton iebserver]$ cd src
[dizzl@newton src]$ /bin/sh -c /mnt/share/iebserver/libtool gdb \
                /mnt/share/iebserver/src/iebserver -fullname -nx -quiet
libtool: warning: cannot infer operation mode without MODE-ARGS
libtool: you must specify a MODE
Try `libtool --help' for more information.

[dizzl@newton src]$ gdb /mnt/share/iebserver/src/iebserver -fullname -nx -quiet
(gdb)

This is from the man-page:
       -nx
       -n     Do not  execute  commands  from  any  ‘.gdbinit'  initialization
              files.  Normally, the commands in these files are executed after
              all the command options and arguments have been processed.

Seems like -n and -nx are the same...
