Re: debugger for objC on linux

[Paul Johnson]

gdb does work.

From the tone of your question, I gather it does not for you?

For Swarm-2.1.1, try

$ gdb .libs/appname

The really really newest beta versions of swarm don't require the .libs 
dir on some systems.  Its a libtool modernization thing.

In the old days of Swarm, we had an objc patch that we applied to gdb to 
make it work. Now days, we don't do that, as far as I know. We just use 
gdb and work around the language inconvenience.

A sample ms windows session is charted out here:
