2012-01-24gdb: also force ELF support for gdbhostPeter Korsgaard
Similar to how we do for target (ee39d53ce3ee (Fix GDB BFD test linking)). Gdb comes with an embedded copy of libiberty, but binutils also installs libiberty.a into HOST_DIR. The gdb configure script tries to link against this one rather than the gdb version when it checks for ELF support. This may fail if those versions are not compatible, leading to obscure error messages from gdb at runtime such as: I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that. Symbol format `elf32-$ARCH' unknown. Fix it by forcing ELF support. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
2011-11-24gdb: fix kconfig dependency handling with !BR_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOTPeter Korsgaard
Newer versions of GDB need pthread debugging support if threads are enabled, which is always the case for glibc but is a configure option for uClibc. We have solved this for internal toolchains by selecting the BR2_PTHREAD_DEBUG option from the GDB selection if needed, but as this option isn't available when ctng/external toolchains are used, mconf prints ugly warnings and the build may fail if an external uClibc toolchain without pthread debugging support is used. Fix it by introducing 2 more hidden config options: - BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG - BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG_IF_NEEDED The first tells us if the toolchain HAS pthreads debugging support, and is checked by check_uclibc_feature in helper.mk for external uClibc based toolchains. The second tells us if the toolchain is ABLE TO provide pthreads debugging support if threads are enabled, either because it's an internal toolchain where we can force enable it or an external glibc/eglibc toolchain or uClibc with the option enabled. Crosstool-ng forcibly enables this support, so those will always work. The preconfigured uClibc-based toolchains we have also all enable it. Finally, show a comment if this isn't the case so the (external toolchain) user knows why. This is placed outside the choice option, as menuconfig has a bug where it doesn't show choice selections which only contain comments. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>

2011-10-05toolchain/gdb: fixup version stringsYann E. MORIN
The gdb tarballs have been re-released after a GPL compliance issue was found: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2011-09/msg00030.html So all versions were re-packaged. In the process, an 'a' was appended to the version strings, and unlike the binutils people, the gdb folks are not inclined in providing legacy symlinks: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2011-09/msg00036.html So, this patch fixes the issue by renaming version strings. It is to be noted that, although the versions got bumped to include an 'a' at the end, the directory contained in the tarball is still named after the version string without the 'a'. For example: - old version : 6.6 - new version : 6.6a - tarball name : gdb-6.6a.tar.bz2 - directory name : gdb-6.6/ In fact, it does not pose any problem for buildroot, as the extract process explicitly mkdirs the directory to extract into, *and* strips the first level of the tree extracted from the tarball.

2011-10-05toolchain/gdb: strip tarball component when extractingYann E. MORIN
For some tarballs of gdb (see next patch), the extracted directory is *not* named after the version string (eg. gdb-6.6a extract into gdb-6.6/) Create the appropriate directory first, then use --strip-{components,path} when extracting gdb (the same way it is done for the generic package infrastructure). At the same time, get rid of the snapshot special case, because: 1- it's no longer available in the menu 2- it would be handled by the above change Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

2011-09-17support: move package/gnuconfig to support/gnuconfigThomas Petazzoni
The CONFIG_UPDATE macro is no longer defined in package/gnuconfig/gnuconfig.mk, but instead in package/Makefile.autotools.in. It it also changed a little bit to take the directory of the package sources as argument, and the AUTOTARGETS infrastructure is updated to use this macro.

2011-02-07gdb: add support for Blackfin gdbserverMike Frysinger
This requires removing "deprecated" markings from gdb-6.6, but this isn't that big of a deal.

2010-11-18gdb: drop local stripping in favor of top levelMike Frysinger

2010-07-29gdb: disallow GDB_HOST on external toolchain buildsThomas Petazzoni
The cross-gdb is supposed to be part of the external toolchain, so Buildroot does not need to build it. Moreover, GDB_HOST build currently fail with: ln -snf ../../bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gdb \ /home/test/outputs/test-48/staging/usr/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/gdb ln: creating symbolic link `/home/test/outputs/test-48/staging/usr/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/gdb': No such file or directory And even worse: they overwrite the cross-gdb of the external toolchain!

2010-05-01Fix GDB BFD test linkingPaulius Zaleckas

2009-01-05add .empty files for git-svnPeter Korsgaard
git-svn (and git) doesn't handle empty directories, so add .empty files to those dirs like elsewhere in buildroot. Those empty directories are normally not a big deal, but the recent changes to u-boot broke the build.
2008-12-15toolchain: use same gdb Config.in for internal/external toolchainsPeter Korsgaard
We used to use different gdb configs for internal and external toolchains because mconf won't source the same file twice. This works, but is kind of sub optimal, as people forget to keep them in sync. Fix it to use the same file for both situations by shuffling around the config options a bit. Should work identical to before (except for the newer gdb versions available for ext).
