Subject: Can't build gdb for mingw32 if not native? :-(
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2005 21:11:00 -0000

Hi,

I'm trying to build gdb 6.3 on host powerpc-apple-darwin8.2.0 for  
target i386-pc-mingw32msvc.

Unfortunately nothing much gets built. Probably because of the bit of  
the configure script I found that starts with the comment:

     # Can't build gdb for mingw32 if not native.


I'm trying to get a GNU toolset hosted on OS X and targetting Windows  
(MinGW). So far, the compiler toolset is working dandy, and having  
gdb would top it off just right.

But it looks like I've hit a stumbling block. Does anyone know the  
reason for this limitation?

Thanks for any insight.
