Hi,
I'm trying to build gdb 6.3 on host powerpc-apple-darwin8.2.0 for
target i386-pc-mingw32msvc.
Unfortunately nothing much gets built. Probably because of the bit of
the configure script I found that starts with the comment:
# Can't build gdb for mingw32 if not native.
I'm trying to get a GNU toolset hosted on OS X and targetting Windows
(MinGW). So far, the compiler toolset is working dandy, and having
gdb would top it off just right.
But it looks like I've hit a stumbling block. Does anyone know the
reason for this limitation?
Thanks for any insight.
