I have tried to install gbd-4.18 on my hp b-180, without success. I am trying to do the "simple install". I am using the "native" HP C compiler. ( ll `which cc` gives: /usr/bin/cc -> /opt/ansic/bin/cc ) Here is what I have tried: 1) gunzip < gdb-4_18_tar.gz | tar xvf - (creates directory gdb-4.18) 2) cd gdb-4.18 3a) ./configure b) make Fails on error message: cc -c -g -D__HP_CURSES -I. -I. -I./config -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I./../include/opcode -I./../readline/.. -I../bfd -I./../bfd -I./../include -I../intl -I./../intl -I./tui blockframe.c cc: "defs.h", line 990: error 1709: Long double is an ANSI feature. *** Error exit code 1 Stop. *** Error exit code 1 Stop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alternately, I tried this: (after deleting the gdb-4.18 directory and repeating steps 1 & 2 above.) 3a) setenv CFLAGS -Aa (to get HP ANSI C complier) b) ./configure c) make This one fails on error message: cc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Aa -I. -I./../include fdmatch.c -o pic/fdmatch.o cc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Aa -I. -I./../include fdmatch.c cc: "fdmatch.c", line 59: error 1574: Unknown size for "sbuf1". cc: "fdmatch.c", line 60: error 1574: Unknown size for "sbuf2". cc: "fdmatch.c", line 64: error 1530: Undefined struct or union. cc: "fdmatch.c", line 64: error 1530: Undefined struct or union. cc: "fdmatch.c", line 65: error 1530: Undefined struct or union. cc: "fdmatch.c", line 65: error 1530: Undefined struct or union. cc: "fdmatch.c", line 62: error 1563: Expression in if must be scalar. *** Error exit code 1 Stop. *** Error exit code 1 Stop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Note, configure is using this H/W definition: hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 Thanks for your attention and suggestions on this matter.
