Build gdb with --target=arm-wince-mingw32ce
Build gdbserver with --host=arm-wince-mingw32ce

I had never submitted it upstream ...

build script for gdb 6.7.1 for mingw32ce

[Steve DeLaney]

 Thanks to all the help from Pedro on this.  I'm including a build script
that 
patches gdb 6.7.1 and builds gdb and gdbserver.  not sure the best way to
post this so I'll just include it inline for now.



#!/bin/bash
# build-gdb-6.7.1-mingw32ce
# built with mingw32ce distro 0.51
#

src=gdb-6.7.1
patchfile=mingw32ce.patch

echo "UNTAR $src DISTRO"
tar xvzf $src.tar.gz

echo "PATCHING $src DISTRO for mingw32ce"
cd $src/bfd
# using bfd patch submitted by Pedro 2007-12-10
patch < ../../mingw32ce.patch
cd ../..

echo "BUILDING GDB"
mkdir build-gdb
cd build-gdb
../$src/configure --target=arm-wince-mingw32ce --prefix=/opt/mingw32ce
make 
make install
cd ..
echo "GDB BUILD COMPLETE"

echo "BUILDING GDBSERVER"
mkdir build-gdbserver
cd build-gdbserver
../$src/gdb/gdbserver/configure --host=arm-wince-mingw32ce 
make
arm-wince-mingw32ce-strip gdbserver.exe -o gdbserver-stripped.exe
echo "GDBSERVER BUILD COMPLETE"
echo "copy gdbserver-stripped.exe to the device and rename it gdbserver.exe"
cd ..

RE: BDI interfering with gdbserver on PPC target

[Steve DeLaney]

Well it took a while but finally isolated this issue.  It's a little
esoteric perhaps but for future reference BDI can be controlled with the
config file by disabling VECTOR CATCH 

Similarly a Xilinx XMD JTAG debugger had the same problem. in that case it's
a matter of writing a PPC405 SPR DBCR0 to configure internal debug.

Yes, this happens on a lot of different targets.  There's nothing we can do
about it - you'd have to talk to the kernel folks or the BDI supplier.

help building gdb 6.7.1 for windows CE ARM

[Steve DeLaney]

I am attempting a build of gdb 6.7.1 for windows CE ARM target using
mingw32ce  the objective is to have gdbserver on target providing a "target
remote x" interface to the host development gdb.  in other words a standard
session configuration.

can anyone help with the --target and --host configure options ?

I think there is a bfd patch but not sure if it is located in the patches
archive ?

we are stuck on this 

thanks,
