Re: Building gdb for sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8

Deb,

Let me know if you get anywhere with GDB on this platform. I am
also trying to debug 64 bit executables on Solaris 8 (I am compiling both
my applications and gdb with gcc-3.0) and so far I have been able to compile
gdb but when I try to use gdb to debug a 64 bit debug executable I get
errors:

For example:

	netra1:/export/home/local=>gdb sizes
	GNU gdb 20010910 (MI_OUT)
	Copyright 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
	GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you
are
	welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain
conditions.
	Type "show copying" to see the conditions.
	There is absolutely no warranty for GDB.  Type "show warranty" for details.
	This GDB was configured as "sparc-sun-solaris2.8"...
	(gdb) b main
	Cannot access memory at address 0x894
	(gdb)

I configured with the following args:
../gdb-5.0/configure --host=sparc-sun-solaris2.8 --with-ld=/usr/local/bin/ld
 --n
orecursion
# using "mh-frag"

(Same arguments I used for gcc...)

So far I have had to use the forte compiler and debugger...

Thanks for your quick reply.

This tag is valid when I run:
sh config.sub sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8
and it is the same tag I specified when I built the 64
bit compiler.

When I tried the ../src/configure
--prefix=/home/debbie/gdb-5.0-sparc64/install
sparc64-sun-solaris2.8 I get further but I get an
error on the make:

The bottom line is that I need to be able to debug 64
bit executables and the gdb built for a straight
solaris 8 machine doesn't like them.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Debbie
