Re: [fpc-devel] libgdb: preferred version and whence?

I'll look around for 6.7 and try building it on i386 and SPARC before having another attempt on ARM. Best practice appears to be to make sure the gdb binary is installed, to get the corresponding gdb source package (e.g. from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb/) to build that and then copy across libgdb.a etc. to the fpc source tree. The wrong version of gdb might not build properly, for example Debian Sarge and Etch on i386 support 6.3 but to work on ARM requires 6.4. Debian Lenny includes gdb 6.8, I haven't been able to build fpc on an older system using this version and haven't yet tried on Lenny. I've now got fpc 2.2.2 (optimised, including the fp IDE) running on Debian ARM (little-endian) including debugger operation inside fp. I'd like to try getting a big-endian ARM system running but don't know how quickly I can manage that. i386 on NT and Debian Sarge is OK, SPARC remains a problem. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

This indeed suggests a SPARC-specific problem, as ARM is also quite alignment-sensitive.

Referring again to gdbint.pp I see this:

Am I correct in assuming that the text after the $endif is purely
documentary, or is it used somewhere in the build process?
It is purely documentary and entirely ignored by the compiler. I can't
help with the libgdb stuff though.
