--host=x86_64-linux-gnu --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf

[Reinoud Koornstra]

Hi Everyone,

I,'m trying to compile gdb for arm that runs on my x86_64 machine.
So I did the configure and then the make, the make fails, see, how can
I remedy this?

make fails here:

Use --build, not --host, or leave it out at all.

I get the same result if I only do
./configure --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf

It always faults at

Try starting from scratch. It looks like these files were compiled
with a compiler for another platform.

Ah thanks, that worked.
I earlier build gdb for arm that also runs on arm itself.
That's why it likely was giving errors, I deleted the dir and
extracted again, worked like a charm.
Thanks,

Reinoud.
