Here's the deal: 1) I retargetted binutils to support a new processor. I started with binutils-2.12.1 from the GNU ftp site. That work is complete. 2) I grabbed gdb-5.2.1 and merged the gdb directories with my now-modified binutils tree. This meant I just copied the gdb, malloc, readline, sim, and utils directories from the gdb tree to the combined tree. 3) As a check that everything is buildable in the combined tree, I configured for i386 (default) on linux, and did a "make". I wanted to make sure that I started from a buildable tree before I hack on the gdb and sim directories to support the new processor. 4) Everything built fine until it got to gdb/gdbserver. It exploded compiling utils.c: In file included from utils.c:22: server.h:37:25: gdb/signals.h: No such file or directory 5) No question, there is no gdb/signals.h included in the gdb-5.2.1.tar.gz file that I got from ftp.gnu.org. Nor is there one in gdb-5.2.tar.gz. What gives? I'm beginning to suspect that nobody compiles the snapshots on the GNU ftp site. Should I have started from some other snapshots? I'm completely learing of basing off of "the tip" of the CVS tree, as I have no idea when that is stable. So I thought basing off of the GNU snapshots would be the way to go. -Rick -- Rick Richardson rickr@mn.rr.com http://home.mn.rr.com/richardsons/ Stock information at your fingertips: http://linuxtrade.0catch.com/ In its earliest years, access to Usenet required "Level 5 geek clearance".
