Preparing files for dbxtra

Programming Tools Guide
Chapter 6, dbXtra and dbxtra

Included on the media with your copy of dbxtra are files named dealer.c, bidding.h, and deal.c that you can use to participate in this session. These files are installed in the directory /usr/lib/dbxtra/demo. Locate these files, copy them to a working directory, and compile them with:

   $ cc -g dealer.c deal.c

NOTE: To use dbxtra for source-level debugging, use the -g compiler option to place symbolic information, source line numbers, and variable names in the object file.

Execute a.out, and the system responds with:

   a.out
   Dealing 1 hands...
   Illegal instruction - core dumped
   $

NOTE: The exact wording of the second line may vary from system to system. The message indicates that a core file, used for debugging, has been written to the current directory.
