Re: Using gdb with Borland's free compiler?
Headers in config to add mingw32 as a target plus configure.host,
and configure.tgt change.
FYI, there are three largely orthogonal problems here:
- host support (so it can be run on mingw)
Missing fork. Struct problems. This should be largely handled by
configure.in.
- native support (so it can debug mingw programs)
The win32-nat.c changes.
- architecture support (so it can handle mingw ISA/ABI issues)
tm-*.h *.mt, *-tdep.c.
Note that, for the last one, GDB's been restructured so that the tm-*.h
file is no longer needed. If the patches still have a tm-*.h file then
`why' is something to investigate further.
Changes to configure.in.
Change 'struct environ' to 'struct gdb_environ' as mingw has
'environ' in a system header file as a '#define'.
If nothing else, bug report this. Fixing it should be a no-op.
Change event-loop.c to support Win32 handles for mingw32.
Added missing POSIX modes to gdb_stat.h plus minor changes in
remote-fileio.c due to a different 'struct stat'. (*)
Added support for ser-tcp over winsock2 for target tcp. (*)
As a ser-winsock2 file or as mods to ser-tcp?
Support for mingw in win32-nat.c.
Small number of minor changes, eg missing SIGQUIT, no fork
check in top.c.
