Compiling GDB for ARM based Android Platform

[Akshat Saha]

Hi,

I want to compile gdb for ARM based Android platfrom. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit host machine.

I have cloned the source from https://gitorious.org/android-toolchain/gdb.

Steps followed to compille:

1. ./configure --target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi
2. make

The resulting binary I get, is a shared executable. And while running on emulator, gives a "not found" error.

I have exported CodeSourcery's Toolchain(2008q3).

Please guide me on how to proceed, or where I am wrong.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

To help you to have better understanding of cross gdb for Android,
please refer to the build process in NDK (directory ndk/ in AOSP
source).

I found these instructions useful in solving the same problem:

The new Karim Yaghmour book, _Embedded Android_ from O'Reilly, is also
an excellent resource.

HTH,
Alison
