Failure while making about gdb-7.7.1 HOT 14 CLOSED

Yes, flex library was missing, it got me much further in compilation process but still got multiple main definitions errors and undefined references. Similar error is described in this Redhat changelog The last missing component in my case was bison parser generator

So my entire installing procedure was:

sudo apt-get install flex
sudo apt-get install bison
./configure
make
sudo make install

from gdb-7.7.1.

It looks like I uploaded all of my make files which have my local paths. Try a make clean first.

from gdb-7.7.1.

It is just like previously. I entered:
~/gdb-7.7.1$ ./configure
~/gdb-7.7.1$ make clean
~/gdb-7.7.1$ make
~/gdb-7.7.1$ make distclean
~/gdb-7.7.1$ make

and possible combinations, but nothing has changed.

from gdb-7.7.1.

I confirm that I have also experienced the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and QT5.7.

from gdb-7.7.1.

Levi, is it possible to re-commit just sources? Because after configure and make step, your local path is spread all over the Makefiles and other config files and it is just not possible to compile this code on other computer. Even if I removed all .o and .a object files, config statuses, config.chache, genreated MakeFiles etc, I was not able to get to the successful build.

Or, eventually is it possible to use original gdb 7.7.1 version instead? It compiles fine, however I don't know if you did any changes to the original code.

from gdb-7.7.1.

I will work on getting it cleaned up. I did make changes to the source to allow for skipping before the process has started. It depends on how you are debugging your ROS project. If you are attaching to a process after it has started then you can use the default version of gdb. If you use the method wait for process to start then attache you have to use this version. I have created a patch, which gdb has requested I update it to the latest version of gdb to get it merged. So hopefully this will not be necessary in the future.

from gdb-7.7.1.

I'm also seeing this issue, and would love to use this once it is fixed. Thanks @Levi-Armstrong for putting this up for us to use!

from gdb-7.7.1.

Sorry that's it's taking me so long. I am about finished with integrating catkin_tools and then this is my next item to address.

from gdb-7.7.1.

Hi,
I got the same error on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04.
I add a user with name larmstrong and put gdb-7.7.1 (without master word) in /home/larmstrong/gdb_source/. I then can do a part of the compilation.
But after each error, I had to install some missing library. So I successively install this after each make errors (and do a make clean, make distclean and ./configure each time to be sure that all is ok):
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libpcap
sudo apt-get install libpcap0.8
sudo apt-get install libunwind8*
sudo apt-get install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev

I now have multiple errors, I can't solve. See below. Hope someone will find a solution, but the message is that there are multiple main in C files.

Thanks

Goupil

Did you run ./configure then make?

Actually based on the output you provided, you are missing the build
dependency flex.

'sudo apt-get install flex'

Hi,
Thanks. Compilation is ok on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04.1 (some warnings during compilation).
