insight 5.0 compile problem

insight 5.0 compile problem

[Frans J King]

I have a problem compiling insight with for ARM-linux or ARM-elf with
the --enable-sim flag. 

make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/insight-5.0/libiberty'
make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/insight-5.0/libiberty/testsuite'

This doesn't happen without the --enable-sim flag but then I can't use
target sim inside gdb.

Does anyone know a fix for this?

Thanks

Frans,

First of all, don't use GDB 5.0 for ARM debugging.  It is too old
and the sources do not include many fixes to ARM code.  Try and
download a recent GDB snapshot.

Second, the simulator is supposed to be included by default.
I never had to specify --enable-sim.

Third, the configure triplet (which have a two element
alias) is all lowercase:

--target=arm-elf

is how I specify it.


Last, but not least, this is the GUI list (Insight is the GUI for
the GNU debugger GDB).  You are actually building GDB with the
additional files that give GDB the Insight graphical interface).
It was just a coincidence that someone who works with arm targets
was around (I dont know anything about arm-linux though).

In the future, lease post to the gdb@sources.redhat.com as there
are other ARM people in the list.

Regards,
Fernando
