This file describes how to use the cross-compiler to generate the
native files for GDB on a target platform.
NOTE: DO NOT RUN "mknative" BY HAND! It requires the Makefile in this
directory to set up certain environments first.
Since libc's features change over time, the config.h files can change as a
result; thus the instructions below are the same no matter whether
bootstrapping on a cross or native host. This is important: even on a
"native" host, you should bootstrap the toolchain by building from an
up-to-date source tree to a $DESTDIR using the exact same instructions.
In these notes, MACHINE is the $MACHINE of the target. These files can be
cross-generated. Though a $MACHINE_ARCH all uses the same config files, you
must pick a specific $MACHINE so that building the requisite bits below will
work.
1. Set MKMAINTAINERTOOLS=yes in mk.conf. (Needed so that src/tools/gettext
gets built, eliciting proper HAVE_*GETTEXT* defns in config.h files.)
2. Build and install a cross toolchain (via "build.sh -m MACHINE tools").
3. At top level, do "nbmake-MACHINE do-distrib-dirs obj includes".
4. In src/gnu/lib/crtstuff3 do "nbmake-MACHINE depend all install"
5. In src/lib/csu, src/gnu/lib/libgcc3, and src/lib, do "nbmake-MACHINE all install".
6. In src/tools/gdb, do "nbmake-MACHINE obj native-gdb".
This will do a full configury in ${.OBJDIR}/.native that is a "Canadian"
cross toolchain (--build reflects the host platform, but --host and
--target are the target). The result is a tree that would build a
native-to-NetBSD GDB on a cross host, and mknative pulls glue data
from this.
7. Try out a full build using "nbmake-MACHINE" in
src/gnu/usr.bin/gdb6; the result should include a native GDB.
8. If all is well, commit the glue files and directories added to
src/gnu/usr.bin/gdb6.
