Daniel, if you really last tried this in 2008, please try again.<BR>
I'm not sure we had cvsup in our tree in 2008 though.<BR>
Even if you tried it in 2009, try again?<BR>
<A href="http://aivwiki.alma.cl/index.php/Installing_CVSup">http://aivwiki.alma.cl/index.php/Installing_CVSup</A> points to a particular non-current Modula-3 and a particular cvsup.<BR>
We have cvsup in our tree now. Which did you use? Please try ours.<BR>

I just grabbed this output from terminal:<BR>> <BR>> (First command and executing after it the client with .sup file given there in the web page)<BR>> % telnet 192.168.0.3 5999<BR>> Trying 192.168.0.3...<BR>> Connected to 192.168.0.3.<BR>> Escape character is '^]'.<BR>> OK 17 0 2009-07-20 14:06:34 CVSup server ready<BR>> Connection closed by foreign host.<BR>> <BR>> (After, second command it doesn't wait anything or if some client request, it just finish like this)<BR>> % telnet 192.168.0.3 5999<BR>> Trying 192.168.0.3...<BR>> Connected to 192.168.0.3.<BR>> Escape character is '^]'.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Connection closed by foreign host.<BR>> % pwd<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> seeing docs from and now not found http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb_5.html#SEC29<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> (m3gdb) cd code/cm3-cvs/m3-tools/cvsup/server<BR>> Directorio de trabajo /home/test/code/cm3-cvs/m3-tools/cvsup/server.<BR>> (m3gdb) file LINUXLIBC6/cvsupd<BR>> Reading symbols from /home/test/code/cm3-cvs/m3-tools/cvsup/server/LINUXLIBC6/cvsupd...done.<BR>> Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".<BR>> <BR>> (m3gdb) break src/Main.m3:BecomeDaemon<BR>> No source file named src/Main.m3.<BR>> Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load?

But I know gdb has a feature to allow you doing that, but I merely looked into gdb docs quickly, and thinking it now I should retry to see if m3gdb could get these days into that. Hints here or some advise would be appreciated, perhaps Rodney has a better idea of status of this feature on current m3gdb.<BR>> I don't know how to build with user-level threads, first I think I must recompile from bootstrap switched to user-level threads, right? I would appreciate any help on how to do that.<BR>> <BR>> About the case of NT386GNU and alternatives, I expect this tools gets optimized over the time more and more, which is the case for other platforms systems, current multi-core machines shows the speed up as you might have compared in over all compile time with older systems (wouldn't be a bad idea to grab those statistics from m3quake) to compare results in M3 terms and probably in over-all process if possible. There could be a similar performance or at least a constant reduction in number of seconds each time it gets a better platform.<BR>> <BR>> Thanks in advance,<BR>> <BR>> --- El jue, 18/2/10, Jay K <jay.krell@cornell.edu> escribió:<BR>> <BR>> > De: Jay K <jay.krell@cornell.edu><BR>> > Asunto: RE: [M3devel] More testing needed for m3back, was: RE: m3back/longint/atomics<BR>> > Para: "Daniel (M3)" <dabenavidesd@yahoo.es>, "Olaf" <wagner@elegosoft.com>, "m3devel" <m3devel@elegosoft.com><BR>> > Fecha: jueves, 18 de febrero, 2010 23:54<BR>> > <BR>> > https://projects.elego.de/cm3/ticket/1080<BR>> > can you provide the cvsup configuration file?
