hi,

if i'm reading correctly, after a successful build of insight is
supposed to create a 'gdb' binary.

unfortunately, i find none :-/

my install step shows no trace of gdb being installed in .../bin.

./configuring with:

	./configure \
	--prefix=/usr/local/insight \
	--mandir=/usr/local/man\
	--with-mpfr=/usr/local/lib \
	--with-gmp=/usr/local/lib

all that IS installed in /bin is:

/usr/local/insight  > ls bin
	tclsh8.4  wish8.4

hmmm ...

i noted no ERRORs in configure, build or install steps.

looking back at my verbose configure console output, i *do* find:

...
checking for correct version of gmp.h... yes
checking for MPFR... yes
*** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories:
     bfd opcodes gdb sim
    (Any other directories should still work fine.)
...

which, at first glance looks suspicious.

checking the LIST, i find this thread:

	http://sourceware.org/ml/insight/2004-q3/msg00085.html

abt similar error in different dirs.

looking in 'configure', i find:

case "${target}" in
...
  powerpc-*-darwin*)
    noconfigdirs="$noconfigdirs bfd binutils ld gas opcodes gdb gprof"
    noconfigdirs="$noconfigdirs sim target-rda"
    ;;
  *-*-darwin*)
    noconfigdirs="$noconfigdirs ld gas gdb gprof"
    noconfigdirs="$noconfigdirs sim target-rda"
    noconfigdirs="$noconfigdirs ${libgcj}"
    ;;

which shows those dirs -- incl gdb -- as "nonconfigdirs". !?

so, how do i end up with a gui'd GDB for OSX?

any suggestions?

richard
