Features Supported in Previous Versions of HP WDB

Chapter 1

Disk Space Requirements

The approximate disk space required for HP WDB is 20 MB.

The HP WDB GUI requires an additional 8 MB of disk space.

Installation Instructions

To install HP WDB, run the SD-UX swinstall command. It invokes a user interface that leads you through the installation.

It also gives you information about disk space requirements, version numbers, product descriptions, and dependencies.

Specific installation instructions are available on the WDB download page. Refer to http://www.hp.com/go/wdb/.

For more information on installation procedures and related issues, refer to Managing HP-UX Software with SD-UX and other

README, installation, and upgrade documentation provided or described in your HP-UX 11.x operating system package.

NOTE If you install a compiler product that includes a version of HP WDB earlier than this release, swinstall

generates the following message:

ERROR: A later revision (one with a higher revision number) of fileset

"WDB-GUI.WDB-GUI-HELP,r=B.11.23" has already been installed.

Either remove this fileset or change the "allow_downdate"

If you want to keep the later version, you can ignore the message. The new products will be installed, and the latest version of

HP WDB will remain unchanged.

Debugging Core Files from a Different System

Debugging a core file on system other than the one on which it was originally produced is supported under the following

conditions:

The correct system and user shared libraries are copied with the executable and core file to the other system, and the location

of the shared libraries is defined by setting GDB_SHLIB_PATH or GDB_SHLIB_ROOT before debugging the core file.

For details about these variables, refer to Debugging with GDB , Section 12.2.
