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.
