Wondering why insight is no longer part of the SF mspgcc 'distribution' I
set up an insight-6.1 patch based on the current gdb SF-CVS state:
http://elserv.ffm.fgan.de/~opeters/insight-6.1-msp430.patch.gz
QUICKINSTALL (to be adopted to environment):
- Get ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gdb/releases/insight-6.1.tar.bz2
- untar it
- cd insight-6.1/
- gzip -cd ../insight-6.1-msp430.patch.gz | patch -p1
- ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/msp430 --target=msp430
- make
- make install
It compiles (and runs ;) fine with linux (i.e. RH9), but there seems to
exist some readline/sgtty.h trouble with mingw, so use the proposed
cygwin environment for Window$.
while insight compiles fine under cygwin, it does not open the GUI...
i'm not sure what's the problem. it runs in the console no matter if i
run "msp430-gdb -w" or without parameters.
the 5.x versions did have an separate insight binary if i remember
correctly, which isnt there anymore.
as an other showstopper, it also says in the README:
"""
host- or target-specific problems
o Windows is hosed. Tk8.3 in sources.redhat.com is not stable
on windows. Wanna help?
"""
