INFORMATION on mdb version 2.6.0 (Sept 9/96).
MDB is the MINIX debugger which allows you to place breakpoints and
control the execution of a program. It has a lot of the features that
you would expect in a program debugger; for example, stack traces and
single step execution.
The current version works with MINIX for PC and was developed and tested
under MINIX 1.7.x (32 bit version). It should work with 16 bit MINIX.
How to Install
1) Unpack mdb.tar.Z and review additional information in the README file.
(If you got this from the Minix CD-ROM or an MS-DOS system rename
MDB.TAZ to mdb.tar.Z)
2) Edit Makefile for Compiler and extra options as required.
3) make
4) make install
5) make install_man
