gdb 6.3 build fails on Solaris

gdb 6.3 build fails on Solaris

[Louis LeBlanc]

Hey folks.  I'm new on this particular list, but I have tried
searching the archives (and Google) for any solution to my problem.

I've tried building gdb 6.3 on several versions of Solaris, both Intel
and Sparc architectures, and have yet to see it build completely.

On Solaris 8 Sparc, the failure is as follows:

. . .
gcc -c -g -O2     -I. -I../../gdb -I../../gdb/config -DLOCALEDIR="\"/usr/local/share/locale\"" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../../gdb/../include/opcode -I../../gdb/../readline/.. -I../bfd -I../../gdb/../bfd -I../../gdb/../include -I../intl -I../../gdb/../intl  -DMI_OUT=1 -DTUI=1 -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wcomment -Wtrigraphs -Wformat -Wparentheses -Wpointer-arith -Wuninitialized -Wformat-nonliteral -Wunused-label -Wunused-function ../../gdb/procfs.c

It's slightly different on Solaris 10 Intel:

/usr/include/term.h:1060: error: parse error before "SGTTY"
/usr/include/term.h:1120: error: parse error before '}' token

Normally, I just try to find OS specific build information, but there
are absolutely no details regarding Solaris that I can find on the gdb
site.  I have tried both the 6.3 release and various daily snapshots
since the release, but have never gotten a successful build.  Can
anyone shed some light for me?

Thanks in advance
Lou

Uh yeah, gdb 6.3 was a bit goofed on SPARC.

   On Solaris 8 Sparc, the failure is as follows:

I've never seen this failure.  I've been building gdb on SPARC Solaris
2.6, 7 and 9 from time to time and I can't remember ever seeing this
particular failure.  Could you try building a recent gdb snapshot on
your system.  See http://sourceware.org/gdb on how to obtain a
snapshot.

   It's slightly different on Solaris 10 Intel:

   . . .
   gcc -c -g -O2     -I. -I../../gdb -I../../gdb/config -DLOCALEDIR="\"/usr/local/share/locale\"" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../../gdb/../include/opcode -I../../gdb/../readline/.. -I../bfd -I../../gdb/../bfd -I../../gdb/../include -I../intl -I../../gdb/../intl  -DMI_OUT=1 -DTUI=1 -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wcomment -Wtrigraphs -Wformat -Wparentheses -Wpointer-arith -Wuninitialized -Wformat-nonliteral -Wunused-label -Wunused-function ../../gdb/tui/tui.c

   /usr/include/term.h:1060: error: parse error before "SGTTY"

Ah, this defenitely has been fixed a while ago.

That seems to have fixed the problem nicely for Sparc Solaris 8.

I have the snapshot downloaded, I'll try building it when I can - I'm
sure it's fine now.

Thanks for the pointer!

It's not an optical illusion, it just looks like one.
