connecting gdb to multi-ice-gdb-server

["Paul M. Øverby" <paul.magnar.overby@spagat.no>]

Hi,

Host windows pc:
multi-ice server 2.2.3
multi-ice-gdb-server 1.0 built with Insight 5.1.1 under cygwin.

Linux:
GDB/Insight 5.3

I'm trying to connect everything so that I can debug my target using Insight
on the linux box. The multi-ice server is connected to the target. The
multi-ice-gdb-server is connected to the multi-ice server, but trying to
connect Insight to the multi-ice-gdb-server via Ethernet/TCP generates the
following errors:

GDB:
(gdb) set debug remote 1
(gdb) target remote 10.0.0.9:9000
Remote debugging using 10.0.0.9:9000

multi-ice-gdb-server:
GNU Multi-ICE GDB server 1.0


Connected to the Multi-Ice target.

GDB Server starting on port 9000

Got a connection from 10.0.0.3

I have not changed any settings on the multi-ice server (dll), and on the
gdb side I am using a remote TCP connection.

I have speculated in version problems, but I've been told the
multi-ice-gdb-server must be compiled together with gdb, and that it only
compiles under cygwin. I've also been told that gdb/insight version 5.1.1 is
the latest version compatible with cygwin. This is also according to my
attempt to build version 5.3 under cygwin, wich did not work.

So I really need some help here. It seems I'm almost there, but for some
reason gdb and the multi-ice-gdb-server can't speak with eachother. Please
help.

Paul
