From 218551185bc1724caffbb15e0b428b726e6fd253 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Add gdb targets to build.ninja
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Since ninja run each build job with its own stdin/out/err we can’t launch gdb itself in a build job, so we use osascript to launch gdb in a new window.

I used Terminal for this only because it is simpler to script than iTerm2.
