It is helpful, but not an interactive debugger. However, the guy who wrote that article did indeed write a full Makefile debugger. I took it for a spin, and found that it worked as advertised on a simple Makefile. I tried it on the kernel Makefile, but without success (but I didn't try very hard). YMMV. I put some of the resources and info I found at: http://elinux.org/Debugging_Makefiles The link from the package's README doesn't work, but here's a link I found to an article about the debugger: http://www.cmcrossroads.com/content/view/6479/120/ -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Linux Forum Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Corporation of America ============================= -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
