Annotation of 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 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.
