I.e. does GDB work on True64? (hmm, > perhaphs, I've already asked this question). I recently sent the following message to somebody enquiring the status of GDB on Tru64: << > Does anyone know if/when the tru64 5.1 patch for gdb will be added? I just > pulled down the latest CVS and it's not in there. I am not clear about the patch you are talking about. The first patch I submitted for Tru64 5.1 did not meet the GDB standards. For one thing, I had to break it down into smaller pieces. But most of the important changes were better done by Nick Duffeck, so his changes were checked in, and I only integrated small pieces that his patch did not contain. > Alternatively, if Joel's patch works, can one of you send me the > alpha-osf5.mh patch (or diff from alpha-osf3.mh)? (It wasn't included in > Joel's original post.) The bad news is that I just tried today's snapshot and I also failed to build it. I don't think this is because of the lack of the alpha-osf5.mh. For me, the build failed in alpha-nat.c, where it fails to find the EF_* macros. This is probably a minor problem, these macros are defined inside /usr/include/machine/reg.h (BTW, on our machine, "machine" is actually a link to "alpha"). And it is #include'd from alpha-nat.c, they are just conditionalized by #if defined(_KERNEL) || defined(_EXCEPTION_FRAME) I unfortunately don't have much more time at the moment to help you more on this issue. I hope this will help you making some progress. >> I'm not sure anymore, but I thought that Nick's patch was allowing GDB to build on both Tru64 4.0 and 5.1... Strangely, I even remember being able to rebuild it myself on our machines. Either I have incorrect memories, or maybe a later change broke the build, or we forgot to check-in something. For the compilation problem, I still have the original fix that I sent with my first message. I can clean it to satisfy Andrew's comments, and resubmit it. But I would prefer to some feedback from others, to see if they have the same build problems or not. At the moment, I am still unclear whether it is local to our machine, or a forgotten change. -- Joel
