djgpp building of gdb 5

djgpp building of gdb 5

[Sashan Govender]

I want to build a djgpp version of gdb 5 because I read that output 
redirection works as it should. However I can't get it to configure 
properly.

After extracting it according to the Readme file I type

sh /gdb/config/djgpp/djconfig.sh

but it returns saying that I should have extracted the gdb5 files using 
djtar and the fnchange.lst file, which is what I did or tried to do at 
least.

If someone could please tell me what I'm doing wrong or could tell me where 
to find an already built djgpp gdb5 or a mingw gdb5 it will be much 
appreciated.

Thank you.

FYI, input/output redirection works as it should in GDB 4.18 as well,
if you download and install the binary distribution available from the
DJGPP sites:

  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gdb418b.zip

Please post the the exact sequence of commands you typed at the
command prompt, beginning with the commands you used to unpack the
distribution, and any messages you saw in response.

One possibility is that you invoked the above command from the wrong
directory (the leading slash suggests that).  You need to invoke it
from the top-level directory created when you unpacked the
distribution.  That directory is called gdb-5.0.  You need to chdir
there and type this:

	  sh ./gdb/config/djgpp/djconfig.sh
