I am a newbie in crossgcc. My target is 683xx, I built gcc, newlib,
binutils
and gdb according to the FAQ. My host is PC, system is linux redhat 6.0
distribution.
I have small problems while building gdb-4.17. First I patched it with
gdb-4.17-bdm-patch.
Configuring of bdm was ok. But during compiling, compiler couldn't find
file "termcap.h", called by gdb-4.17/readline/rldefs.h.
I found it in /usr/include/ncurses subdirectory and I linked it to
/usr/include dir. Is it right header?
Then compilation was succeed, but, of course, linking not. Linker
complained about libtermcap.
I couldn't find this lib in my system. But I did a trick, doing a link
to libncurses.a. after that,
linking process succeed.
I have 2 questions:
1) Am I right with these tricks?
Yes, you've discovered the plausible workarounds.
2) Is it a problem with
- gdb makefile,
- ncurses installation procedure or
- lack of some packages in my system?
4.17 is now too old to work out-of-the-box with RH 6.0. You shouldn't
see these problems with 4.18; it's using an up-to-date readline library
whose configury knows about ncurses and such.
