Build failure on Debian stable

Build failure on Debian stable

[Levente]

Hi,


I'm trying to build binutils and gdb on Debian stable.
I do this:

mkdir test_build
cd test_build
../configure
make


I get this:

   CXX    tui/tui-command.o
In file included from ../../gdb/tui/tui-data.h:28,
                  from ../../gdb/tui/tui-command.c:24:
../../gdb/../gdbsupport/gdb-checked-static-cast.h: In instantiation of 
‘T gdb::checked_static_cast(V*) [with T = tui_cmd_window*; V = 
tui_win_info]’:
../../gdb/tui/tui-command.c:65:15:   required from here
../../gdb/../gdbsupport/gdb-checked-static-cast.h:63:14: error: cannot 
convert from pointer to base class ‘tui_win_info’ to pointer to derived 
class ‘tui_cmd_window’ because the base is virtual
    63 |   T result = static_cast<T> (v);
       |              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
make[2]: *** [Makefile:1930: tui/tui-command.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory

make[1]: *** [Makefile:13473: all-gdb] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory 
'/home/lev/git/library/software/scripts/avr_toolchain_build/binutils-gdb/test_build'
make: *** [Makefile:1032: all] Error 2


My environment is this:

gcc --version
gcc (Debian 12.2.0-14) 12.2.0

uname -a
Linux athena 6.1.0-18-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.76-1 
(2024-02-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux


I'm not sure I miss something.

If I disable gdb, it compiles.


Thanks for your help,
Levente

You are building GDB.   It belongs to the GDB mailing list.

Unfortunately we cannot help you as this is the mailing list for binutils
issues, and the code above is part of GDB, not the binutils.  If you resend
your email to gdb@sourceware.org you will be more likely to get some help.

If/when you do resend your email, it would help to mention which version of
the gdb sources you are compiling.

Cheers
   Nick
