Problem compiling gdb 6.4 on HP 11.11

Problem compiling gdb 6.4 on HP 11.11

[Jeremy Palmer]

Hi

Could anyone help me with this problem? I'm trying to build gdb 6.4 on HP 11.11. 

I'm using /opt/ansic/bin/cc

My "make" is from GNU make-3.81. 

As root I am just doing "./configure" followed by "make" in the gdb-6.4 directory.

I keep running into this problem during the compile: 

 
CONFIG_HEADERS=config.h:config.in /bin/sh config.status

config.status: creating Makefile

config.status: error: cannot find input file: glob/Makefile.in

make[2]: *** [stamp-h] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/netapp/users1/jspalmer/tmp/gdb-6.4/gdb'

make[1]: *** [all-gdb] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/netapp/users1/jspalmer/tmp/gdb-6.4'

make: *** [all] Error 2

The directory gdb-6.4/gdb/glob is empty. 

Many thanks

Jeremy Palmer

Where did you get this version of GDB?  It only shipped with a glob
subdirectory, and the code to configure it, from 1992 - 1995.  GDB 6.4
is ten years later.

Hello David

I downloaded it from here - http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb/

It's the gdb-6.4.tar.gz file.

I can not find a single reference to a glob subdirectory in that file,
except for an outdated entry in the manual.  Can we see an entire build
log, please?

Hello Daniel

Please find attached a file containing the output from configure and make. The file just needs to be renamed from .zipped to .zip.

I'm stumped.  You might want to check the output of "env" for
suspicious entries mentioning glob.  GDB's configure script shouldn't
have any way to do this.

Jeremy,

I tried building gdb 6.4 on HP 11.11 with the HP compiler and it failed
but not with the same error message you got.  Mine died with:

cc: "../../gdb-6.4/gdb/hppa-hpux-tdep.c", line 1933: error 1610: Attempting to return value from function of type void.

I was able to build it with GCC with no problems.

gdb 6.5 has been released now, I don't know if that would work better
with HP C or not.  I didn't try it.
