RE: Building GNU cross-development tools: Problem building Insight

Karel,
	Thank you for the helpful hints. So, you say that
I have enough of the toolchain built already? Great! I'll give it
a try! I hit the GDB snag and stopped in my tracks. Thanks for the push!

I also thought about trying an older version of insight/gdb. Yet, the official ftp
site only has 6.4. Do you know where they keep the old releases? I've Googled
until I'm cross-eyed and found nothing.

if you do not insist on GUI-based debugging, then try older versions of gdb alone:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb/


or you can also try insight latests snapshots:
ftp://sourceware.org/pub/insight/snapshots/current/

Cheers,
Karel


Thank you for the enouraging words, I'm sure this will become great fun momentarily! David

Andrew,
	Thank you for the prompt reply. I look forward to getting eCos up and
running. Also, thank you for the vector to the pre-built tools,
However, one of my goals was to gain experience building the
cross-development tools for myself. Presently, I'd judge the
experience as 'unpleasant'.

Thank you for the helpful referral to the gdb mailing list. I agree
with you that 'This is [sic] a insight/gdb issue and has nothing to do
with eCos.' Save for the minor point that these tools are used to
build eCos for my target hardware. #ifdef NO_TOOLS #define NO_ECOS
#endif

Why? You've already build all the needed tools except gdb/insight. Just try different versions of those and I'm sure you will find the combination which will work. Anyway, even if it does not, then you can try eCos application (you already can build it/link it), although you will not be able to debug them in case of any issue.

Cheers,
Karel


Please forgive the waste of bandwidth. David

Hi,
While I'm waiting for my new dev hardware to arrive, I thought I'd
get eCos up and running for the  i386.

I'm using Appendix D of Massa's "Embedded Software Development with
eCos" as my guide.

I installed Cygwin 1.5.9 on my XP machine. It works great.
I downloaded and built the GNU Binary Utilities (ver 2.16.1) for
i386. Worked just fine. I downloaded and built GCC (ver 3.4.5) for
i386. Worked great. I downloaded and built Insight (ver 6.4) for
i386. BOOM! No joy.

I get errors like this while running make:
/src/gdb/insight-6.4/gdb/tui/tui-win.c:307: undefined reference to
`__nc_acs_map'

I'm really at a loss as to what to do now. Any ideas how to begin
debugging this situation?

Try the gdb mailling lists. This is a insight/gdb issue and has nothing to do with eCos.

There are toolchains available for download at:

http://ecos.sourceware.org/getstart.html

The i386-elf one should work for you.

Andrew
