Re: [photran] Photran as a standalone debugger

["Smith, Lee" <Lee.Smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes I'm aware that Photran is actually just a gui wrapper for gdb (or idb also) but what I want is to invoke Photran (eclipse) without first starting the application and setting up a project etc. So to just type something like

photran <executable> 

And then start debugging the supplied executable. This is how idb (the gui version) and ddt work. I have used both of these but I much prefer the Photran gui for a variety of reasons. The problem is that I need a way to invoke it in the same way as these other applications.

Photran doesn't actually have any debugger.  What it does is to provide a wrapper for gdb so that it all appears under Photran.  If what you are really saying is "can Photran under Linux provide a Fortran-specific debugger that is GUI based rather than command line based" then the answer is "yes", because the wrapped version of gdb
doesn't look much like gdb.   But gdb is still down there somewhere.
