Forgive me for not filling in those details in the same post. I want to
use Insight as a cross-debugger for an embedded system. The embedded
system uses HardHat 3.0 linux from MontaVista, and the development host
responds to "uname -a" with "2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux." I have a
Windows XP box on my desk from which I telnet to either linux location.
I don't have a great deal of experience with gdb or ddd, or linux for
that matter, having just started on this project, though I have
successfully got target-based gdb, remote gdb, and ddd working before
trying to install and use Insight.
My goal is to create a personal instance of insight in my home directory
which will not interfere with gdb used by others on the system.
I configured the installation with:
configure --target=powerpc-linux --prefix=$HOME/bin \
--exec-prefix=$HOME/bin/ppc-insight
I followe that by
make
make install
I don't know if I used the correct target, and other things may very
well be incorrect. If the location of the configure script and other
untarred things is significant, I can fill in those details too. I am
trying to invoke Insight from an X window open on my WinXP machine from
which I've telnetted to the development machine.
Did I provide enough information?
