[ECOS] Building GDB on RedHat 7.1

[ECOS] Building GDB on RedHat 7.1

[Ormund Williams]

Hi All

I'm having some torble building the arm tools on linux.  binutils and
gcc build without complaint but both gdb-5.0 and insight-5.0 fail with
the same error, copied bellow.

 . . .
 . . .
gcc -DPACKAGE=\"rdi-share\" -DVERSION=\"1.0\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1
-DHAVE_FCNTL_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_IOCTL_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TIME_H=1
-DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DTIME_WITH_SYS_TIME=1 -DRETSIGTYPE=void
-DHAVE_VPRINTF=1 -DHAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY=1 -DHAVE_SELECT=1 -DHAVE_SOCKET=1
-DHAVE_STRTOD=1 -DHAVE_STRTOUL=1 -DHAVE_MEMCPY=1 -DHAVE_MEMMOVE=1  -I.

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/ecos-arm/gdb/build/gdb'
make: *** [all-gdb] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/ecos-arm/gdb/build'

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I have this same setup built on another
box running Suse 7.1.

Add this to devsw.c:

#include <time.h>

--Mark

It worked! Thanks Mark!  This solution also worked when building
minicom.

[ECOS] About GDB

[Prasad Kamath Nala]

Hi,
    Does anybody help me with the documentation for the GDB.  I wanted to
how it works (with eCos).  I want to know the internals of GDB.  I could not
find a relevant document which does the same.  Any help would be appreciated

regards

The gdb sources come with some documentation. When you build the gdb
documentation you should end up with two sets of info pages, one for
using gdb and another called "The GNU debugger's internals". I have
not read the latter in any great detail, but it looks like there is a
section on the Target Vector Definition which describes the standard
protocol and remote stubs. RedBoot implements the target side of this
protocol, and that is generally what is used for debugging eCos
applications. 

For additional information, see http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/ and
the various gdb-related mailing lists hosted on sources.redhat.com.
