A couple of weeks ago, I asked for help compiling gdb 3.5 on the Pyramid. I received no responses. Alas, I've figured out the fixes on my own. At about line 342 in dep.c, the declarations for global_reg_offset, last_frame_offset, reg_stack_offset must be changed so they are not static: ----- /* need this so we can find the global registers: they never get saved. */ CORE_ADDR global_reg_offset; static CORE_ADDR last_frame_address; CORE_ADDR last_frame_offset; /* Address in core file of start of register window stack area. Don't know if is this any of meaningful, useful or necessary. */ CORE_ADDR reg_stack_offset; ----- Also, compiling gdb 3.5 with gcc 1.36 caused problems in handling user commands (the readline functions). Text on the command line was not always properly displayed - you type control-P, and the last command would indeed execute, but you wouldn't see that command on the screen. I assume this was a gcc 1.36 problem. Compilation with the Pyramid cc caused gdb 3.5 to run just fine. Eventually, I'll get gcc 1.37.1 running, and recompile gdb 3.5, and issue a report. Hope this is useful. -- Paul Steckler steck@eric.ccs.northeastern.edu
