Current snapshot

Current snapshot

[Nick Roberts]

I've downloaded the current snapshot (it was gdb+dejagnu-20030201.tar.bz2),
uncompressed, unpacked and built gdb without any problem.

I'm ready to receive the imminent patches for:

interpreter mi -<mi-command> <mi-args> 
-interpreter-exec console cli-command

http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/current/ says

I can't find the src directory. The directory that appears to contain the
sources is gdb and there are no directories called CVS or files called Root,
Entries anywhere etc. So when I type cvs update, I get

> cvs update: No CVSROOT specified!  Please use the `-d' option
> cvs [update aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.

Can anyone help please?

Instead of downloading a snapshot, which doesn't have the CVS stuff in it,
do a cvs checkout as explained in http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/current/

then, all you will have to do is a 'cvs update' to get the patches.

Right now the code is sitting on a new interps branch.  Moving to/from 
that branch is easy - cvs update -r ... can be used.
