Iam trying to compile gdb-7.0 for mips.

Iam giving the configure options like below.

./configure --host=mips-linux --target=mips-linux-uclibc --libdir=/home/test/CommonApp s/Software/SW/targets/DUALMOCA/rootfs/lib --includedir=/home/test/CommonApps/Software/SW/targets/DUALMOCA/rootfs/include

Compiles well and gives me executable , when i run that i get the message like below

This GDB was configured as "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu".

Where as the cross compiler pacakage "uclibc-crosstools_gcc-3.4.2_uclibc-20050502" mips-linux-gdb give's me the proper results like "This GDB was configured as "--host=i386-pc-linux-gnu --target=mips-linux-uclibc"

Can any body guide me where am i going wrong ?

It would be more help full if i get direct mips compiled gdbserver . My basic intention is to do the remote debugging for mips target board

Thanks

Is mips-linux-* a uClibC compiler? BUILD= can be used to force the issue (of i386-pc-linux-gnu) if that is what you so choose.

Kennedy thanks for your views,

I had a confusion in my end , when ever i was trying to run the gdb , it was executing gdb which i installed on my system not the one which i compiled for .

So once i realised that and tried to execute with ./gdb it gives me following error .

I guess it compiled for mips thats the reason its not running in my environment.

Still my i have not met my requirement as i want to get gdbserver executable which i can run on my mips target board environment and gdb which i will start in my desktop system and using target remote command i can debug it.

Hope i am clear about my intentions .

Even i tried to use uClibc-0.9.30.1.tar.gz to get mips compiled gdbserver and mips-linxu-gdb unable to get the end results.

your advice / suggestiong would be highly helpfull .

thanks and regards

Hey dude i think the problem is when u try to configure the GDB with MIPS

you didn't specify the location with prefix tag and it try to configure the default one which is configured with X86 linux 64 Bit

your configuration
do it like that may be it will help you

with prefix u can configure the path

There are (if I can recall correctly) 4 config things: HOST, TARGET, BUILD, <something>. <something> is the one that you'll set to mips-linux -- stating that you want to debug those type binaries, but your TARGET will be for you local machine (ie, you'll want to use your native compiler to build it, but it will refer to the <something> libs when attempting to debug).

I just cannot recall what that <something> is. I'd have to download and attempt to install. Try ./configure --help for that information.
