    GDB is a useful tool to debug applications running in linux system. For the case of
    embedded linux system, it is important have a version of GDB that can run in proper
    in the embedded environment. As oppose to x86 environment which is mostly being used
    in PC platform, embedded system adopts a large variety of RISC architecture to run
    the system. There are ARM, MIPS, PPC... and each of them might run in little or big
    endian mode. So, it is a little bit hard to have a generic version of GDB that can
    run in all embedded platforms. Therefore, it is crucial to harness the power of cross
    compilation in all the ways in order to make use of those useful tools such as GDB in
    embedded environment. Regarding to the fundamental knowledge of cross compilation,
    please refer my previous paper in this blog, "What is Cross Compilation ? Cross
    Compilation Demystified For Embedded Linux System". So, let us start to cross compile
    the GDB for our embedded platform right now. The embedded platform that we are going
    to use is MIPS 24k, little-endian mode, 500MHz, with 256MB DDR2 RAM.

    Host:# ./configure --help
    `configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems.

    Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...

    To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
    VAR=VALUE.  See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.

    Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.

    Configuration:
      -h, --help              display this help and exit
          --help=short        display options specific to this package
          --help=recursive    display the short help of all the included packages
      -V, --version           display version information and exit
      -q, --quiet, --silent   do not print `checking...' messages
          --cache-file=FILE   cache test results in FILE [disabled]
      -C, --config-cache      alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'
      -n, --no-create         do not create output files
          --srcdir=DIR        find the sources in DIR [configure dir or `..']

    Installation directories:
      --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                              [/usr/local]
      --exec-prefix=EPREFIX   install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
                              [PREFIX]

    By default, `make install' will install all the files in
    `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc.  You can specify
    an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
    for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.

    For better control, use the options below.

    Fine tuning of the installation directories:
      --bindir=DIR            user executables [EPREFIX/bin]

      --dvidir=DIR            dvi documentation [DOCDIR]
      --pdfdir=DIR            pdf documentation [DOCDIR]
      --psdir=DIR             ps documentation [DOCDIR]

    Host:#

    Well, let's define --host, --target, and CC for our first try of GDB cross
    compilation.

    Host:# ./configure --host=mips-linux-gnu --target=mips-linux-gnu CC="mips-linux-gnu-gcc -EL"

    Host:# make

    After a while, we get the following error.

    configure: WARNING: no enhanced curses library found; disabling TUI
    checking for library containing tgetent... no
    configure: error: no termcap library found
    make[1]: *** [configure-gdb] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/smp383/mips-4.3/bin/gdb-7.1'
    make: *** [all] Error 2

    No termcap library found... It seems GDB needs termcap library to complete the
    cross compilation. So, we need to cross compile a termcap library first.

    Well, we got our libtermcap.a now. Let us back to the cross compilation process of
    GDB. In order to let the cross compiler can locate the exact location of our termcap
    library, let us define it in explicit way.

    Host:# make distclean

    Host:# ./configure --host=mips-linux-gnu --target=mips-linux-gnu CC="mips-linux-gnu-gcc -EL"
    --with-libtermcap="$PWD"

    Host:# make

    However, after a while, we still get the same error. It seems the explicit definition
    of termcap library didn't work properly. Let's us get to the respective configuration
    file and do the explicit definition of termcap library again.

    Host:# find . -type f -name "configure" -exec grep -il "no termcap library found" {} ;
    ./gdb/configure
    Host:# cd gdb
    Host:# ./configure --host=mips-linux-gnu --target=mips-linux-gnu CC="mips-linux-gnu-gcc -EL"
    --with-libtermcap="/home/smp383/mips-4.3/bin/gdb-7.1"

    Unfortunately, the error still there... It seems the problem can't be solved in graceful
    way. So, we should consider to modify the configuration file directly. Let's start now.

    Host:# nano configure

    Well, the string "no termcap library found" is at line 8714. After some reading on
    that portion of codes, it seems the variable "ac_cv_search_tgetent" needs to be
    defined. At line 8644, it is defined as "../libtermcap/libtermcap.a". But, it seems
    line 8644 will not getting executed in the case statement. Hence, we should hard
    define it at the outer section of the case statement. So, let us put a new line of
    "ac_cv_search_tgetent="../libtermcap.a" at line 8638. Therefore, from line 8635 to
    line 8645 of the configuration file should look something similar to this.

    # Since GDB uses Readline, we need termcap functionality.  In many
    # cases this will be provided by the curses library, but some systems
    # have a seperate termcap library, or no curses library at all.
    ac_cv_search_tgetent="../libtermcap.a"

    case $host_os in
      cygwin*)
        if test -d $srcdir/libtermcap; then
          LIBS="../libtermcap/libtermcap.a $LIBS"
          ac_cv_search_tgetent="../libtermcap/libtermcap.a"
        fi ;;

    Fine, let us start the make process again.

    Host:# make
    ...
    ...
    make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/smp383/mips-4.3/bin/gdb-7.1/gdb/gdbserver'

    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/smp383/mips-4.3/bin/gdb-7.1'
    Host:#

    Excellent, the cross compilation process has been completed. Let's check the generated
    binary is MIPS compatible or not.

    Host:# cd gdb
    Host:# file gdb
    gdb: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1, for GNU/Linux 2.6.12,
    dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
    Host:#

    It seems everything so far is fine. Let us test it in MIPS environment.

      1. Hi,

        Tried cross compiling gdb 7.6 but I'm stuck at libtermcap.
        I'm unable to find the case statement you mentioned here.

      2. Hello,
        I have the same libtermcap problem...

        ReplyDelete
      3. I ran into the same problem but it was my mistake i was not reading correctly the configure file is not the configure file in the main directory it is the one inside GDB directory.

        Thanks

      4. Hi,

        Thank you for the good work, however concerning the termcap library, it is much easier and more cleaner to tell the configure script options for the linker. So you can simply specify the flag "CFLAGS" in the configuration by adding this:

        CFLAGS="-L -ltermcap" for the result:

        ./configure --host=arm-926ejs-linux-gnueabi --target=arm-926ejs-linux-gnueabi CC=arm-926ejs-linux-gnueabi-gcc --with-libtermcap=/home/hilt0n/devel/sysapps/source/termcap-1.3.1 CFLAGS="-L/home/hilt0n/devel/sysapps/source/termcap-1.3.1 -ltermcap"

        With that, there is no need to modify the configure script.

      5. Some part with html balise have disappeared:

        CFLAGS="-L[path to libtermcap directory] -ltermcap"
