gdbserver install

gdbserver install

[Matt Jordan]

Hello,

I am trying to install gdbserver, but after doing 'make install' it
doesnt seem to have been installed.

I have read elsewhere you need to manually compile gdbserver.  I have
tried this by doing:
make -c gdb/gdbserver

However this always returns:

matt@~/gdb/gdb-6.6: make -C gdb/gdbserver
make: Entering directory `/home/matt/gdb/gdb-6.6/gdb/gdbserver'
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make: Leaving directory `/home/matt/gdb/gdb-6.6/gdb/gdbserver'

I have tried using different versions (5.3, 6.0, 6.5 and 6.6) but none
seemed to make any difference.

With both problems I am using the following:
tar zxvf gdb-6.6.tar.gz && cd gdb-6.6 && ./configure
--prefix=/home/me/gdb6 --disable-werror && make && make install

What am I missing?

Any help would be great, am happy to provide more details.

-System Details-
Solaris 5.8, sparc
GCC 2.95.3
gmake 3.78.1


Regards,
Matt

That's what you're missing.  gdbserver is automatically built and
installed if it is supported for your system, but it does not have any
Solaris support at the moment.  Sorry.

Ohh dear,

Any suggestions of an alternative method for remote (C,C++) debugging
for solaris?

Kind regards,
Matt Jordan

(thanks for quick response)

I don't know any offhand, but I don't use Solaris much.  There may be some.

Add Solaris support to gdbserver?

I don't know Solaris but I did the same for NetBSD a while back; it
was quite easy.  Given that GDB works at all, that means there is an
API into the OS for debugging.  GDB uses that.  So does gdbserver,
essentially the same API just invoked via a remote stub protocol.
