GNU 68HC11 & 68HC12 Sources Packages

GNU 68HC11 & 68HC12 Sources Packages

[Jim Blandy]

I'm looking at:

http://m68hc11.serveftp.org/m68hc11_src.php

Stephane, out of curiousity, to what extent have the GDB patches been
submitted or merged into the public sources?  I see that the GDB patch
seems to be mostly MingGW changes, which are separable from
architecture-specific changes, m68hc11-rom.c, etc.  A quick search
didn't suggest that the changes other than MingGW had been posted.

The main changes are the following:

- - Buffalo and Dbug12 monitor support (m68hc11-rom.c).  I've submitted the patch
  in 2000 but it was never integrated (I suspect this is my fault; I've never
  asked for its integration).

- - BDM debugging support for HC12.  This support was written by Tim Housel
  and there is no copyright assignment (hence I've never proposed for
  the patch for integration)

- - Mingw32 patchs (readline support).  I've not written that, just integrated
  and fixed a few things here and there.

For everything that I maintain (binutils, gdb, simulator) I try to integrate
in the mainline and I use the above patch to distribute a fixed gdb.  So, all
the bfd/*, sim/*, gdb/m68hc11-tdep.c are already part of gdb 6.3 and 6.4.

If the Mingw32 fixes could be integrated (but this must be done by
Mingw group, not me), I will really appreciate. In fact, this is the only
reason why I still use a gdb 6.2  (:-

HEAD GDB (and 6.4) should now build on mingw32; have you tried lately?

I've not tried yet.  This is good news!

Thanks,

Unfortunaltely,
I tested it yesterday evening with latest snapshot
(gdb-6.4.50.20051214.tar.bz2) from FTP site, but without success.
I got an error "*** Gdb does not support native target
i686-pc-mingw32" while configuring it.
Could you please let me know if you are lucky on your side.

Regards,
David

This is expected. Daniel was saying that GDB is supported on mingw
but only as a cross debugger hosted on windows.
