cgdb appears to invoke gdb rather than ggdb

[dave_gomboc@…]

cgdb appears to be built to run gdb, but macports' update of gdb is instead installed as ggdb. (I will presume that there are good reasons for this.)

So, after installing both the gdb and cgdb ports, one can either get the curses-based view with an ancient version of gdb (6.3), or get a console-only view with gdb 7.6.

I think it would be better if the "cgdb" port depended upon the "gdb" port, and invoked "ggdb" to do its work.

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers cgdb).

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

the gdb portfile symlinks the main gdb executable to its regular name as ${prefix}/libexec/gnubin/gdb, so you could always have cgdb point to that...
