4.2.4.2: Using the GDB configure Script Directly

This section describes how to configure the GNU debugger for RTEMS targets using configure and make directly. The following example illustrates the invocation of configure and make to build and install gdb-4.18 for the m68k-rtems target:

mkdir b-gdb
cd b-gdb
../gdb-4.18/configure --target=m68k-rtems \
  --prefix=/opt/rtems
make all
make info
make install

For some configurations, it is necessary to specify extra options to configure to enable and configure option components such as a processor simulator. The following is a list of configurations for which there are extra options:

i960-rtems: --enable-sim
powerpc-rtems: --enable-sim --enable-sim-powerpc --enable-sim-timebase --enable-sim-hardware
sparc-rtems: --enable-sim

After gdb-4.18 is built and installed the build directory b-gdb may be removed.

For more information on the invocation of configure, please refer to the documentation for gdb-4.18 or invoke the gdb-4.18 configure command with the --help option.
