I have been trying to setup a remote debugger GDB for a MIPS platform.
Tried to install the gdb with the information that I could gather on net.
I downloaded gdb-6.7.1 from net. Have kept all these file on a Linux PC.
following are the steps I followd.
1.
[root@ads target]# /root/GDB761/gdb-6.7.1/configure --target=mips-montavista-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/opt/gdb
2.
[root@ads target]# make
3.
[root@ads target]# make install
Having done these, I was not able to find the gdbserver executable in /opt/gdb.
Thus I tried configuring the gdbserver explicitely.
i.e:
[root@ads target]# /root/GDB761/gdb-6.7.1/gdb/gdbserver/configure --target=--target=mips-montavista-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/opt/gdb
then I did make
[root@ads target]# make
this make resuts into number of errors like-
mips-linux.c updated.
/root/GDB761/gdb-6.7.1/gdb/gdbserver/linux-mips-low.c:57: `MMLO' undeclared
here (not in a function)
/root/GDB761/gdb-6.7.1/gdb/gdbserver/linux-mips-low.c:57: initializer element
is not constant
/root/GDB761/gdb-6.7.1/gdb/gdbserver/linux-mips-low.c:57: (near initialization

/root/GDB761/gdb-6.7.1/gdb/gdbserver/linux-mips-low.c:57: `MMHI' undeclared
here (not in a function)
/root/GDB761/gdb-6.7.1/gdb/gdbserver/linux-mips-low.c:57: initializer element
is not constant
/root/GDB761/gdb-6.7.1/gdb/gdbserver/linux-mips-low.c:57: (near initialization
for `mips_regmap[34]')
/root/GDB761/gdb-6.7.1/gdb/gdbserver/linux-mips-low.c:57: `BADVADDR'
Am I missing out any step here??
Please help me out in finding the right way to install gdb.
Thanks and regards,
