problem with building head branch gdb

problem with building head branch gdb

[Kris Warkentin]

When trying to build the head branch of gdb on Cygwin I keep getting this
error in the gdb subdir:

checking for Tcl private headers. dir=unix... checking for tclInt.h... no
configure: error: Can't find Tcl private headers
make: *** [configure-gdb] Error 1

Obviously it wants tcl/tk but the question is, is there any configure option
to make it NOT want tcl/tk?  If not, then shouldn't the gdb module in cvs be
updated to include the tcl/tk subdirs?

cheers,

Kris

What directory is configuring when you get this?

Try --disable-gdbtk.  You probably updated using cvs up -dP, which got
you the gdb/gdbtk/ directory that's ordinarily missing in the GDB CVS
module; that's how I usually hit this problem.

That one did the trick.  I don't, however, have the gdbtk directory checked
out.  I'm thinking it might be an error in configure because I only checked
out gdb.  Michael C suggested checking out gdb+dejagnu which is probably
what most people do which might explain why no-one had seen it yet.

Thanks,

Nope.  --no-tcl gives me:

configure: error: --no-tcl: invalid option; use --help to show usage

--disable-tcl doesn't work either: the configure succeeds but I get the same
error.

I'm not a "configure" guru but a quick browse indicates
that there is a "--no-tcl" option.

If you check out "gdb+dejagnu" then you will get tcl and tk subdirs
in dejagnu.

Hope this helps,
