Can't build current gdb source tree -- gnulib dependency?

Can't build current gdb source tree -- gnulib dependency?

[Michael Snyder]

Hey guys, excuse me if this is already being covered.
I know there are some threads about eg. gnulib stdint, 
and I don't know if what I'm seeing is related.

Brand new cvs checkout of "gdb", main trunk, (just updated
a few minutes ago, in time to get version.in change).

configure --disable-nls on a FC7 x86 laptop
(yeah, I know it's not the latest)

On first running "make CFLAGS=-g all-gdb" it terminates with:


config.status: creating gnulib/Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: gnulib/Makefile.in

(of course there's no gnulib in my source tree -- does it
need to be added to the gdb module?)

It's a subdir of gdb, like testsuite and config.  Do you have it in
there?  It shouldn't be any special.

That's really strange... I just did a checkout of the GDB sources
(I used "cvs -d sourceware.org:/cvs/src co gdb"), and it contains
the gnulib directory, as well as gnulib/Makefile.in. Are you sure
your checkout went OK? Just to make sure, I also built the debugger
from this checkout and things went fine.

Maybe a "cvs update -d" is required?

OK, I'll do it again... ah, wait a minute, I think I see what happened.

... never mind! ...   ;-/

It should definitely fix the problem, although I tend to avoid using
this command without specifying the directory I want to get, because
otherwise I end up pulling some directories from other modules (such
as insight). So I tend to do "cvs update -d DIRNAME" instead.  This
is one of the limitations of using shared CVS for several projects,
I guess.

But Michael said that he did a fresh checkout of the sources, and so
his sandbox should have contained gdb/gnulib.
