However, ups has been ported and the port includes all the diffs to stock gdb-4.13 to support ups and FreeBSD. What's missing is support for kernel debugging and attach/detach, but what the hey. There's a copy of the port on wcarchive as /incoming/FreeBSD/ups-port.tgz. I actually compiled it and it worked quite well, although I personally consider tgdb to be superior. Note that I didn't do this port, I just know about it. Gary J. Hi! I did the port and posted a message a few weeks ago. I had to make a clean port of gdb-4.13 to work with ups. Since I don't have many experiences with the gdb and its internals I don't know how to add kernel debugging and the attach/detach stuff. I even don't know if this will work with the ups stuff anyway, because I don't know absolutely nothing about its internels either. -- I'm working with this ups port and its working quite stable. I've seen many questions about a port of the ups debugger (because its really nice) that I think you can live with the lacking of some features :-) volker
