GDB for PowerPC target for cygwin

GDB for PowerPC target for cygwin

[Jerry Hidayat]

Hello,

I need your help guys....
Basically, I am trying to build GDB 4.17 for PowerPC target. I have installed 
the latest cygwin on my Win NT 4.0 box which also provides a compiler 
(2.95.3-5). Here is the command I put for configuring GDB builder ,
./configure --target=powerpc-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr/local/powerpc/bin
it's configured without any error message.
but when I do 'make' I see this error,
******************************************************
In file included from sim_calls.c:43:
../../gdb/defs.h:51: conflicting types for 'strsignal'
/usr/include/string.h:70: previous declaration of 'strsignal'
make[2]: *** [sim_calls.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/paulh/gdb417/gdb-4.17/sim/ppc'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/paulh/gdb417/gdb-4.17/sim'
make: *** [all-sim] Error 2
*******************************************************

If you guys have any suggestions or ideas what I need to do, please help me.

How about upgrading CYGWIN or gdb or both ?

In my c:/cygwin/usr/include/string.h there is

#ifdef __CYGWIN__
#ifndef DEFS_H	/* Kludge to work around problem compiling in gdb */
const char  *_EXFUN(strsignal, (int __signo));
#endif
int     _EXFUN(strtosigno, (const char *__name));
#endif

and in gdb/defs.h there is no strsignal at all :-)

Thanks Velco,

if you can't find strsignal in gdb/defs.h, it means that you are using a 
development version of GDB. Thanks anyway.
