Where is DDE?

[Carlo Henrico_1]

Hi all

On previous versions of HP-UX when I installed the aC++ compilers, by default the dde (debugging utility) was also installed. Now on 11.23 it never got installed, despite making the correct selections on the swinstall. Is it now a seperate package and if so where can I find it please?

Thank you

Carlo

Hi Carlo,

You can install WDB, http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechSoftwareDetailPage_IDX/1,1703,1665,00.html

hi;
The HP Wildebeest Debugger (WDB) is an HP-supported implementation of the Open Source GNU debugger (GDB).
here is the link;

you need a free HP Passport username.

and here is another link;

you can download a bundle (HP C/ANSI C compiler for HP-UX ) which include HP/DDE debugger.

For those who cant access:
Was the HP Distributed Debugging Environment (DDE) ported to HP-UX 11i Version 2?

Answer


Although DDE currently ships with HP compilers, HP Windows Debugger (WDB) is the primary debugger for
software development on HP-UX.

HP-UX 11i Version 2 allows enabling or disabling threads to provide DDE compatibility. You must use Gnu Debugger (GDB)
commands to do this. A detailed list of GDB commands and their usage can be found in the Debugging with GDB manual,
available at:

http://www.hp.com/go/wdb

Click on the "Documentation" link, then download the printable version of the Debugging with GDB manual.

You must use HP DDE to debug programs compiled with HP's earlier C++ compiler.

>Where is DDE?

Are you asking for PA or IPF?
There was never an IPF version of DDE.

And on PA, you should be using wdb instead, since June 2003 was the last release of DDE.
