Re: newbie question: need arm9 native gdb; how to compile gdb source for arm9?

["Wolcott, Ken (MED, Compuware)" <Ken.Wolcott@med.ge.com>]

Hi Dan;

  This is my script to build gdb:

**************************************************************
#!/bin/bash


export 
PATH="/tuba_local/crosstool/crosstool-0.24/result/arm-arm9-linux-gnu/gcc-3.2.1-glibc-2.3.2/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin"

# This builds an arm9 cross gdb...
# ../gdb-6.0/configure --target=arm-arm9-linux-gnu

# This builds a native arm9 gdb using i686-unknown-linux-gnu to build it...
# ../gdb-6.0/configure --host=arm-arm9-linux-gnu 
--build=i686-unknown-linux-gnu --target=arm-arm9-linux-gnu

# only use arm9 tools?
../gdb-6.0/configure --host=arm-arm9-linux-gnu --build=arm-arm9-linux-gnu 
--target=arm-arm9-linux-gnu
**************************************************************

This is the output of the ls:
**************************************************************
tuba:/tuba_local/gdb_6.0/build_arm9_gdb_6.0_try3> ls 
/tuba_local/crosstool/crosstool-0.24/result/arm-arm9-linux-gnu/gcc-3.2.1-glibc-2.3.2/bin
