- Specifically, suppose we are debugging a program which uses curses,
- and doing the debugging by invoking gdb (M-x gdb) from within emacs.
- Suppose we give gdb a command like `tty /dev/ttyxx', indicating that
- the user input/output for the program being debugged will be in
- another place separate from the gdb commands (e.g. under X windows,
- that I/O will be in another window). The xx is derived from typing
- `who am i' in that other place.
-
- In this setting, curses seems not to work. I've tried it on three
- different machines. It works fine if I do the same thing but invoke
- gdb from the shell instead of from emacs.
-
- Any suggestions?
