RE: build under linux and for host mingw

[Julie Tao]

Hi Daniel,

Is there any version of gdb supports mingw hosting?

I have a very old version of gdb (probably 4.7) and I can build it for
mingw host successfully. However, I need a more recent gdb to work with.

Thanks!

Julie

This is not the correct log file; the "error" is harmless.  It'll be in
another one somewhere.

However, the released GDB 6.3 did not support i386-mingw32 hosting.  I
hope a future release will.

Not yet.  CVS will almost work, but I believe the last patch is still
under discussion.

You could try the version on the CVS branch 'csl-arm-20050325-branch',
but I can't vouch for how well it works on other targets.

build under linux and for host mingw

[Julie Tao]

Hi,

I downloaded gdb-6.3 and try to build a cross debugger for host mingw
and build it on the Linux:

--host = i386-mingw32
--target = mips
--build = i386-redhat-linux

I got the following error messages from config.log:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

#include "confdefs.h"

int main() {

choke me
#endif

; return 0; }

Could anyone be kind to tell me what to do?

Thanks!
