Hi,
I could not build gdb-4.18 or the latest snapshot (19991116) on a
solaris i386.
$ uname -a
SunOS kahuna 5.7 Generic i86pc i386 i86pc
I tracked the problem down to configure not detecting curses.
$ grep curses config.cache
ac_cv_header_curses_h=${ac_cv_header_curses_h='no'}
ac_cv_lib_Hcurses_tgetent=${ac_cv_lib_Hcurses_tgetent='no'}
ac_cv_lib_curses_tputs=${ac_cv_lib_curses_tputs='yes'}
ac_cv_lib_ncurses_tgetent=${ac_cv_lib_ncurses_tgetent='no'}
ac_cv_lib_ncurses_tputs=${ac_cv_lib_ncurses_tputs='no'}
Editing 'gdb/config.h' to define curses allowed the latest snapshot to
build. GDB seemed to run and I could set a breakpoint, step etc.
