This is a vim(v7.4) patch to provide Gdb support within Vim, It's modified from vimgdb72-1.14 (http:https://clewn.sourceforge.net/)
The patch vimgdb implements full gdb support in the vim editor: breakpoints, watch variables, gdb command completion, assembly windows, etc.
- You need:
vim-7.4.tar.bz2 http:https://www.vim.org/sources.php
vimgdb-for-vim7.4 (this patch) https://github.com/larrupingpig/vimgdb-for-vim7.4
- Untar all files, apply the patch and make Vim:
tar xjvf vim-7.4.tar.bz2 -C /tmp
tar xzvf vimgdb-for-vim7.4.tar.gz -C /tmp
cd /tmp
patch -p0 < vimgdb-for-vim7.4/vim74.patch
cd vim74/src
make
sudo make install
IMPORTANT NOTE: you must run make (not ./configure), and if you run ./configure then you must add the --enable-gdb command line argument in order to include the gdb feature (vimgdb) in vim.
- Install vimGdb runtime:
Copy the file vimgdb_runtime found in the vimgdb tarball, to your runtime path. To find your runtime path location execute the vim command (this is usually $HOME/.vim): :set runtimepath?
cp -rf /tmp/vimgdb-for-vim7.4/vimgdb_runtime/* ~/.vim
Change to the doc directory, start Vim and run the ":helptags ." command to process the taglist help file. Without this step, you cannot jump to the taglist help topics. You can now use the ":help vimgdb" command to get the vimGdb documentation.
