target gdb: depend on thread support

2011-11-13T20:32:57+00:00

Compiling gdb for the target requires thread support in the C library, otherwise: /home/test/outputs/test-888/toolchain/gdb-7.3.1/gdb/gdb_thread_db.h:37:21: fatal error: pthread.h: No such file or directory Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

gdb: do not allow native gdb on SuperH architecture

2011-11-13T20:31:39+00:00

The gdb debugger does not have support for running as the native debugger on the SuperH architecture: configure: error: "*** Gdb does not support native target sh4-unknown-linux-gnu" See also http://lists.debian.org/debian-superh/2010/04/msg00000.html.

toolchain/gdb: fixup version strings

2011-10-05T14:56:53+00:00

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.

toolchain/gdb: strip tarball component when extracting

2011-10-05T14:46:50+00:00

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. MORIN" Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

gdb: misc cleanup

2011-10-05T14:14:26+00:00

Only use 6.6 on bfin, remove 6.7.1, mark 6.8 + 7.0 as deprecated and default to 7.3. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

gdb: bump to 7.3.1

2011-10-05T13:20:12+00:00

this version fixes compilation issue on some old build systems like openSUSE 10.3 saying some host libraries were too old [Peter: drop bugfix number from config name, similar to kernel-headers] Signed-off-by: Yegor Yefremov Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

support: move package/gnuconfig to support/gnuconfig

2011-09-17T06:22:12+00:00

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. [Peter: drop echo in CONFIG_UPDATE] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

support: move patch-kernel.sh and rename it

2011-09-17T06:15:32+00:00

The name "patch-kernel.sh" is a bit stupid, since this script is used to patch everything in Buildroot, not only kernel trees. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

gdb: depend on host-expat to fix remote debugging

2011-02-28T09:26:17+00:00

This patch fixes the following error when using GDB with gdbserver: warning: Can not parse XML target description; XML support was disabled at compile time Remote 'g' packet reply is too long: [remote debugging does not work] Use $(HOST_CONFIGURE_OPTS) so expat is found.
