Annotation of gdb/README, revision 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 three files according to
        !             5: the kind of machine you are running on.
        !             6: 
        !             7: param.h must be set up to #include an m- file for the machine.
        !             8: The m- files written so far are m-vax.h, m-sun2.h and m-sun3.h.
        !             9: (I believe that it is the operating system version and not
        !            10: the cpu type which determines which of the two is right on a Sun.)
        !            11: This file contains macro definitions that express information
        !            12: about the machine's registers, stack frame format and instructions.
        !            13: 
        !            14: initialize.h must be set up to #include an m-...init.h file.
        !            15: There are two of them written: m-vaxinit.h and m-suninit.h.
        !            16: This file defines one macro, which says how to round up from the
        !            17: address of the end of the text of one .o file to the beginning of
        !            18: the text of the next .o file.
        !            19: 
        !            20: pinsn.c must be set up to include the instruction printer for
        !            21: your cpu type.  The two printers that exist are vax-pinsn.c
        !            22: and m68k-pinsn.c.
        !            23: 
        !            24: `Makefile' must be changed to say `OBSTACK = obstack.o' instead of
        !            25: `OBSTACK=-lobstack' (unless you want to install obstack.o as
        !            26: /lib/libobstack.a).
        !            27: 
        !            28: Once these files are set up, just `make' will do everything,
        !            29: producing an executable `gdb' in this directory.
