Hello again, I actually managed to find an already built gdb.exe. It's This GDB was configured as "x86_64-w64-mingw32". which not only means that it can indeed load Win-64 images, but also that it IS possible to build gdb with MinGW64. ;-)
I found it at http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=gdb . I have to confess that downloading a plain .exe and running it on my machine was pretty scary - if anybody could confirm that downloads from equation.com are virus-free, it would be greatly appreciated. Another downside is that it's 7.2, while the latest official gdb release seems to be 7.3.1 - another reason to try and build it myself. But anyway, it seems to be running ok... and I found my bug! :-) Greetings and Merry Christmas, Emanuel -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Sorry%2C-a-dumb-one%3A-how-do-I-BUILD-the-thing-%28i.e.-gdb%29-on-Win--tp32975343p32976679.html Sent from the Gnu - gdb - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
