Re: runing ./configure on gdb 7.5.50 sources

Hello,

I would like to patch my current version of gdb (7.5.50.20120815-cvs (cygwin-special)) on a cygwin 1.7.17-1 installation.

Prior to that, I tried to build the original gdb sources, which I downloaded using setup.exe and selecting them.

Without modifying any source code of gdb, I run ./configure from my source folder:

C:\cygwin\usr\src\gdb-7.5.50-1

After a set of checks, configure hangs at the gnum4 check, at least more than 2 hours.
I've never seen this exact error, but my first step in diagnosing configure issues is to check config.log for anomalies.

Also, you're not supposed to configure gdb in /under the directory containing its own sources. Try creating a "gdb-obj" somewhere else and then ../gdb-src/configure

I also tried to run ./configure from the gdb folder (C:\cygwin\usr\src\gdb-7.5.50-1\gdb), but in this case, after a longer output, configure gives the following error message:

"checking for Tcl private headers... configure: error: could not find private Tcl headers"
You probably need to install some tcl*-dev package.
