- Dear bug-gdb!
-
- I have trouble installing gdb 4.6 on a MACH 2.6 System delivered by MtXinu.
-
- MtXinu delivers their systems with gcc 1.37 and gdb 3.5. I recently
- installed gcc 2.2.2 (wich works pretty well) and now I wanted to have
- gdb 4.6. This installation failed until now!
-
- I configured gdb via 'configure i386-aout-mach', what was the only
- combination making sense to me. An error occured configuring the
- ./gdb-4.6/gdb directory. The file ./gdb-4.6/gdb/configure.in contains
- two large 'case' structures: in the first the '.mh' file is selected,
- in the second the '.mt' file is selected. The configuration failed
- because the file ./gdb-4.6/gdb/config/i386mach.mt is not present. It
- seems strange to me, that there is a file ./gdb-4.6/gdb/config/i386mach.mh.
-
- I tried to help myself using i386mach.mh and the i386aout.mt file,
- because the a.out linker format is used on my kind of systems. When
- this constallation did not work, i tried to find out what the
- i386aout.mt file does. I hoped to find a suitable file out of a couple
- of files named i386*.mt. Apart from System V.4 all the files configure
- exec.o i386-tdep.o and i386-pinsn.o in the ./gdb-4.6/gdb directory.
- Furter on they configure tm-i386v.h or tm-i386v-g.h. All that seems to
- be COFF stuff and not a.out as expected.
-
- So why do you specify a i386mach target without supporting the a.out
- format for i386. Perhaps i am wrong in configuring this type of
- system. Or something went wrong in your file dependencies. Let me know
- if you have an idea to solve my problems.
-
- What I have now: I copied the i386aout.mt to i386mach.mt and the
- configure succeeded. The compilation succeded too, but the new gdb
- cannot read symbol tables properly. programs can be run via gdb, but
- of course, no beakpoints etc. can be set. Please help me!
