Mickael,

The configure option is:

configure --enable-gdbmi=yes

As an aside, it is a lot more convenient to build the gdb tree in a tree 
parallel to the sources.  Since the configure process generates c-files, 
makes links, etc, it is good not to mess up your source tree with 
them...  I usually have:

source/configure
source/gdb
source/bfd
source/readline
...

then parallel to this make a directory

build/

then cd into build and do:

../source/configure --enable-gdbmi=yes

Anyway, once you have a gdb built with the mi enabled, then you do:

gdb -i mi

Hope this helps,

Jim
