Re: Buildling gdb on Ubuntu 18.04

I'm trying to build gdb from git on Ubuntu 18.04 to see if some of the bugs I'm
observing with machine interface of 8.1.0.20180409-git are fixed in the
development version. I got a few different errors before but with some help from people on the IRC channel I was able to make progress, and current status is
this: https://gist.github.com/osa1/4548c5bc2d167541557e0a349944eb00

Does anyone have any ideas on how to move from there? Kernel version on Ubuntu
18.04: 4.15.0-44-generic

Thanks

About this error:

nat/gdb_ptrace.h:129:8: error: ‘PTRACE_TYPE_RET’ does not name a type; did you mean ‘PTRACE_TYPE_ARG3’?

The PTRACE_TYPE_RET type should be defined in the gdb/config.h file, in your build directory. For example, I have

650 /* Define as the return type of ptrace. */ │warning: File "/home/emaisin/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdb-gdb.py" auto-loading has be
651 #define PTRACE_TYPE_RET long


Is there a mention of PTRACE_TYPE_RET in your config.h? I assume it is undefined?
