Subject: building gdb 4.18 w/ net cygwin 1.1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello there!

I recently installed the latest net cygwin 1.1.0 and everything worked
great except for gdb. When I run gdb the UI (Insight I guess) reports an
internal gdb error and asks if I wish to continue. Continuing only
results in a whole stream of such errors making gdb unusable.

I then fetched the latest gdb-4.18 source from ftp.gnu.org and attempted
to build it in
the following manner (both done from the top level gdb-4.18 directory):

./configure i686-pc-cygwin32
make

Now, i686-pc-cygwin32 is what is reported by ./config.guess and the
configuration goes off without a hitch. However, the make chokes while
compiling win32-nat.c with the following message:

gcc -c -g -O2    -I. -I. -I./config -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-I./../include/opcode -I./..
/readline/.. -I../bfd -I./../bfd  -I./../include -I../intl -I./../intl
-I./tui
 win32-nat.c
win32-nat.c: In function `thread_rec':
win32-nat.c:185: `CONTEXT_DEBUGGER' undeclared (first use in this
function)
win32-nat.c:185: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
win32-nat.c:185: for each function it appears in.)
win32-nat.c: In function `child_resume':
win32-nat.c:967: `FLAG_TRACE_BIT' undeclared (first use in this
function)
make[1]: *** [win32-nat.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gdb-4.18/gdb'
make: *** [all-gdb] Error 2

I gripped the gdb sources and failed to find either CONTEXT_DEBUGGER or
FLAG_TRACE_BIT and could find neither. I also grepped my MSVC
directories to see if perhaps something got left out of a cygwin header
but no luck there either. So the question: has anyone successfully built
gdb-4.18 with the latest (unmodified) net cygwin 1.1.0? (I assume
someone has, gdb being such a vital tool and me having seen lots of
people on the mailing list at least able to build gdb on the mailing
list.)

I am running NT 4.0 SP6 and using a completely unmodified net cygwin
package (just installed yesterday.) I have been able to build a number
of other GNU packages with success.

Any hints would be appreciated as I *really* need a debugger right about
now. I did not include cygcheck -r -s -v due to its length but if anyone
thinks it might be a config issue I would be glad to post it.

Thanks and regards,
Jay Bromley
