build gdb with simulator

build gdb with simulator

[Vineet Sharma, Noida]

Hi 
    I am building a simulator for new 16-bit processor, now i want to
integrate it with gdb, so how do tell gdb about my simulator. I tried
building by 

	../configure  -target=XXX-coff --enable-sim-XXX=yes   -v
--prefix=/home/vineet/gdb-6.0/

and the simulator code is in sim/XXX directory.


So what Makefile and config file i need to midify for integrating my
simulator with gdb?



Regards
Vineet

At present gdb/config/*/*.mt, for instance:

./src/gdb/config/mips/embed.mt:
> TDEPFILES= mips-tdep.o remote-mips.o
> TM_FILE= tm-mips.h
> SIM_OBS = remote-sim.o
> SIM = ../sim/mips/libsim.a

there are some change-requests suggesting ways to simplify it:

Flattern sim/ makefile structure

sim/null/ as the default simulator
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gdb&pr=429

sim/libsim.a
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gdb&pr=428
