Annotation of 43BSDReno/contrib/emacs-18.55/gdb/README, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: This is GDB, a source-level debugger intended for GNU,
                      2: presently running under un*x.
                      3: 
                      4: Before compiling GDB, you must set up links to four files according to
                      5: the kind of machine you are running on.  To do this, type `config.gdb
                      6: machine', where machine is something like `vax' or `sun2'.  This
                      7: creates links named `param.h', `m-init.h', `opcode.h', and `pinsn.c'.
                      8: (Note: we lack information on certain machines.)
                      9: 
                     10: Also, `Makefile' must be changed to say `OBSTACK = obstack.o' instead
                     11: of `OBSTACK=-lobstack' (unless you want to install obstack.o as
                     12: /lib/libobstack.a).
                     13: 
                     14: Once these files are set up, just `make' will do everything,
                     15: producing an executable `gdb' in this directory.
                     16: 
                     17: About the machine-dependent files...
                     18: 
                     19: m-<machine>.h
                     20: 
                     21: This file contains macro definitions that express information
                     22: about the machine's registers, stack frame format and instructions.
                     23: 
                     24: m-<machine>init.h
                     25: 
                     26: This file defines one macro, which says how to round up from the
                     27: address of the end of the text of one .o file to the beginning of
                     28: the text of the next .o file.
                     29: 
                     30: <machine>-opcode.h, <machine>-pinsn.c
                     31: These files contain the information necessary to print instructions
                     32: for your cpu type.
