I'm trying to install gdb on gentoo-prefix for Interix v3.5 on Windows XP SP3.
I've run emerge --sync but I'm still getting errors when trying to emerge sys-devel/gdb

output is below:

root@computer# emerge sys-devel/gdb

 * IMPORTANT: 3 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo_prefix'.
 * Use eselect news to read news items.

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N *] sys-devel/gdb-9999 USE="client python server zlib -expat (-multitarget) -nls -test -vanilla"

The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
#required by sys-devel/gdb (argument)
>=sys-devel/gdb-9999 **

NOTE: This --autounmask behavior can be disabled by setting
 EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--autounmask=n" in make.conf.

Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring CONFIG_PROTECT).

 * IMPORTANT: 3 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo_prefix'.
 * Use eselect news to read news items.

I would think using GDB in Gentoo on Interix is a common need. Has nobody ever done this before?

Running emerge to bring in gdb gives the following output:

root@xp-pro-sp3 Install # emerge --color n sys-devel/gdb

Can someone translate what the issue is into plain English? What is a 'keyword change' and what 'keyword change' is required (I can't tell from the message)?

I found a solution, gdb is already installed:

Quote:

> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
> /opt/gcc.3.3/bin/gdb


We will see if I can get it do do anything useful now...
