Hi, I am trying to configure gdb to debug usermode on my mips box. i have two choices: one is to use "native"-compiled gdb, ot remote debugging on x86 box via serial or IP. Currently I have no luck making any of the two configurations. For "native" gdb I try to $ CC=mips-linux-gcc ./configure mips-linux and eventually I get configure: error: *** Gdb does not support host mips-mips-linux-gnu For remote debugging, I use $ ./configure --target=mips which succeded, and I even am able to get cross 'mips-gdb' which understands mips executables. However, when trying to configure gdbserver, $ cd gdb/gdbserver $ ../../configure mips-linux *** ./configure.in has no "per-host:" line. *** Hmm, looks like this directory has been autoconfiscated. *** Running the local configure script. creating cache config.cache checking host system type... mips-mips-linux-gnu checking target system type... mips-mips-linux-gnu checking build system type... mips-mips-linux-gnu checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c configure: error: *** GDB remote does not support host mips-mips-linux-gnu Too bad, have seen it before, so I just tried to $ ../../configure --host=mips --target=mips *** ./configure.in has no "per-host:" line. *** Hmm, looks like this directory has been autoconfiscated. *** Running the local configure script. loading cache config.cache checking host system type... mips-mips-elf checking target system type... mips-mips-elf checking build system type... mips-mips-elf checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c configure: error: *** GDB remote does not support host mips-mips-elf And the last try (like the one that worked before): $ ../../configure --target=mips Configuring for a i686-pc-linux-gnu host. *** ./configure.in has no "per-host:" line. *** Hmm, looks like this directory has been autoconfiscated. *** Running the local configure script. loading cache config.cache checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... mips-mips-elf checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c updating cache config.cache creating ./config.status creating Makefile linking ./../config/i386/xm-linux.h to xm.h linking ./../config/mips/tm-embed.h to tm.h linking ./../config/nm-empty.h to nm.h which clearly misconfigured, because of host system type set to x86, and nm.h is pointing to nm-emty.h (?). From what I see, I cannot use neither mips-linux nor mips-elf for host specification. On the other hand, I have seen lately a lot of discussion for gdb support for MIPS (bot kernel and usermode). I just wonder what I am missing from all this story. Your help is greatly appreciated.
