Description Vitaliy 2020-11-22 12:39:35 UTC

It states that it needs GDB 7.0.0 or above but sees GDB 10.1 only. Does it compare version numbers as strings?

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Void Linux amd64/musl
KDE Plasma Version: not used (5.20 seems to be installed)
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75
Qt Version: 5.15.1

You don't want to see the old code doing the check ;)

For your amusement, it was matching a regular expression starting with "[7-9]+" to check if the gdb version was later than 7. It's fixed already.
