>Description:
In the default build, gdb/insight is huge, and installs a considerable number of static libraries (that itself was linked against). There is very little installation/configuration information. The configure command understands the --enable-shared flag, and will generate shared libraries instead of static. The size of the resulting gdb is hardly smaller, and it is not linked against the system tk/tcl libs.
When I force that to happen, ide_initialize_paths claims it can't find the TCL library in a path that I don't know how to modify.
Also, the make terminates because
ranlib libitk3.0.so
ranlib: libitk3.0.so: File format not recognized
(running it again succesfully completes the build).
>How-To-Repeat:
configure --enable-shared
make
# after the ranlib error
make
ls -l gdb/gdb
>Fix:
Yes, please, fix it!
