I have longer time a difficulty to solve this message when I try to
build fpc with "sudo make clean all":
Makefile:2279: *** No libgdb.a found, supply NOGDB=1 to disable
debugger support.
of course, then I use "sudo make clean all NOGDB=1" and it builds
fine, but without debugger support I need.
I am a newbie to MacOSX 10.5 and therefore I would like to ask how to
install libgdb.a library which is requested.
I don't understand this: the message you show only appears when
building the text mode IDE, and the text mode IDE is not built for Mac
OS X (unless you manually go into the IDE directory and execute make
there).
The error message about "no debugger support" means that there will be
no internal debugger in the IDE. It does not mean that the units or
the compiler do not contain debug information.
You do not need libgdb.a (unless you want to build the text mode IDE
with internal debugger support on Mac OS X, but then you are on your
own -- this is not tested/supported/planned).
Try:
sudo make clean all NOGDB=1 DEBUG=1
The makefile probably needs some adjusment to not try and build the text
mode ide on platforms for which it is not supported
