It is invoked by <i>Settings|This Program</i>. The settings apply only to the currently loaded executable and will be saved across sessions.</p> <blockquote><b><i>Important note:</i></b> The chosen settings will only apply the next time the executable is loaded into KDbg. This means that after pressing <i>OK</i> in this dialog, you must reload the executable using <i>File|Recent Executables</i>!!</blockquote> <ul> <li> <a href="#driver">Debugger</a></li> <li> <a href="#output">Output</a></li> </ul> <h2> <a name="driver"></a>Debugger</h2> <p>In this section, the debugger to be used for the program can be chosen.</p> <h4> How to invoke GDB</h4> <blockquote>Enter the command to invoke gdb. Leave this field empty to use the default gdb command as specified in the <a href="globaloptions.html">global options</a>. When you are cross-compiling and remote-debugging, you will probably want to use a different gdb suitable for the target platform. The default command is <tt>gdb --fullname --nx</tt>. Be sure to specify at least <tt>--fullname</tt> if you change the gdb command. If you remove this command switch, KDbg will not work. </blockquote> <h2> <a name="output"></a>Output</h2> <p>In this section, the terminal emulation under which the program will run can be selected.</p> <h4> No input and output</h4> <blockquote>Check this option if your program does not receive input from the terminal and you do not want to see the output that the program writes to <tt>stdout</tt> and <tt>stderr</tt> (if any). All three standard channels (<tt>stdin</tt>, <tt>stdout</tt>, and <tt>stderr</tt>) are effectively redirected to <tt>/dev/null</tt>.</blockquote> <h4> Only output, simple terminal emulation</h4> <blockquote>Check this option if your program does not receive input from the terminal (<tt>stdin</tt> will be redirected to <tt>/dev/null</tt>), and the output that it writes to <tt>stdout</tt> and <tt>stderr</tt> does not require sophisticated terminal emulation. The output will be shown in the <a href="pgmoutput.html">Output window</a>.</blockquote> <h4> Full terminal emulation</h4> <blockquote>Check this option if your program reads input from <tt>stdin</tt> or if the output to <tt>stdout</tt> or <tt>stderr</tt> requires terminal emulation. A terminal emulator will be invoked as specified in the <a href="globaloptions.html">global options</a>.</blockquote> </body> </html>
