             Bug #: 13861
           Summary: Error when installing GDB-7.4 on HPUX 11.31
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: corefiles
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: hazardkillfox@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


It's my first time working with gdb and when tried to install version 7.4 to
investigate some apps coredump files on our environment got the following error
when running "make":

checking whether wcwidth is declared without a macro... yes
checking for makeinfo... /tmp/gdb-7.4/gdb-7.4/missing makeinfo
--split-size=5000000
configure: error: makeinfo is required for compilation
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

There are several errors on config.log file, but I couldn't find the log file
for make:

# grep -i error config.log
"conftest.c", line 14: error #2020: identifier "choke" is undefined
1 error detected in the compilation of "conftest.c".
Fatal error.
| /* Override any GCC internal prototype to avoid an error.
"conftest.c", line 10: error #2005-D: could not open source file "ppl_c.h"
"conftest.c", line 16: error #2020: identifier "choke" is undefined
2 errors detected in the compilation of "conftest.c".
stage2_werror_flag=''

Pls let me know if any additional information is required to have this issue
sorted out and installation completed.

Thx in advance,

Muniz

This was a 7.3->7.4 regression by me, sorry.
But if you install makeinfo - which it asks you for - it will work.

It has been fixed on the trunk:
  [patch+7.4] Fix 7.4 build regression by me requiring makeinfo (PR
build/13638)
  http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-02/msg00152.html

You can also try any one of:
  ftp://sourceware.org/pub/gdb/snapshots/branch/gdb-7.4.0.20120319.tar.bz2
  ftp://sourceware.org/pub/gdb/snapshots/current/gdb-7.4.50.20120319.tar.bz2
  http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/current/

It should be fixed in 7.5 or if 7.4.1 gets released.
