building GDB 9.0.50.20191206

[Wadud Miah]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to build GDB 9.0.50.20191206 from source and am getting the following error:

configure: error: source directory already configured; run "make distclean" there first
configure: error: .././../../gnulib/configure failed for build-gnulib-gdbserver
configure: error: ./configure failed for gdbserver
make[1]: *** [Makefile:9534: configure-gdb] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/gdb-9.0.50.20191206'
make: *** [Makefile:852: all] Error 2

I don't need the server component of GDB as I will be debugging locally, but could not find any option in the configure script to disable the building of the server component. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Wadud.
