Re: [gdb-7.5.91] mips sim fails to build on mingw32

Joel,
It is still there if you configure correctly. On a completely up to date
CentOS 6.x install. I reversed the patch locally and configured like this:
../gdb-7.5.91/configure --target=mips-rtems4.11 \
--prefix=/home/joel/test-gdb/install/ --enable-sim \
--enable-sim-hardware --enable-timebase --enable-sim-trace &&
make
And the build failed like this:
-o run \
nrun.o libsim.a ../../bfd/libbfd.a ../../opcodes/libopcodes.a
../../libiberty/libiberty.a -lm -lm -lz -lnsl
libsim.a(interp.o): In function `sim_open':
/home/joel/test-gdb/b-gdb/sim/mips/../../../gdb-7.5.91/sim/mips/interp.c:552:
undefined reference to `sockser_addr'
Sounds like it needs the same configure magic as the other architectures.
Do I understand correctly that the patch you added is too broad and
affects more targets than needed? If that's the case, I agree with
Ralf that the best course is to revert your patch first, and then
implement something that only affects CentOS.
This is not CentOS specific. The file is required when you configure with
--enable-sim-hardware. It is just a matter of tripping the configure
command correctly.
The only workaround going on here is that we need to account for
mingw not being able to build dv-sockser.c.
FWIW I see dv-sockser.o included by a multiple targets but only but
only the bfin has logic to avoid it on mingw. Are any of the following
buildable on mingw?
cris
frv
iq2000
m32r
m68hc11
mn10300
sh64
It would be nice to know if this is a general problem on mingw.
Scheduled release time is 10 days away (Mar 26). It would be nice
to have this fixed by then. Otherwise, we'll have to delay the release.
Since you're the only one who seems to be able to reproduce, would
you mind working on this?
Sure. I have a patch written based on the logic in sim/bfin and just need to
test it.
But I don't know how to regenerate the configure script in gdb. I see
I need autoconf 2.64 but what's the magic incantation.
