GCC, GDB GUIs

Hi,

(1) Which is the user-friendli-est front-end to gcc and gdb?

(2) If I want to give a debugger with my application, then:

(a) is it possible?
(b) how can this be done?

In answer to (1), probably KDevelop or Ajunta. I'm not quite sure what you mean by (2), can you explain in more detail?

your second part is a bit confusing. If you ment to debug C++ program, you add -ggdb to compiler options:
g++ -ggdb MyProg.C
Then you run GDB the output file:
gdb a.out.

Actually it might sound stupid now, but my second options was this -- if I develop an "application" and that application runs into some errors, instead of simply printing out the error, I want to give the user the option to view the particular segment of code and modify it accordingly :-) After all this is the benfit of open-source :-D

Science fiction, huh.

then distribute programs with source, and compile with -g and/or -ggdb.
