QtCreator Build Gdb

Building GDB

For Windows

A msys Environment with MinGW is required to build the GDB on Windows. If it is missing download and install it to your system.

Building

• Go to qt-creator/dist/gdb
• The directory has 3 Makefiles: linux, osx and mingw. Use the one that corresponds to your host os.
• In case you need additional targets, edit the line starting with 'targets=' in the Makefile.
• Run:

  make -f Makefile.<linux|osx|mingw>
  

Shipping

• Extract qtcreator-gdb-<gdb version>-<host>.tar.gz

Testing

• To test GDB just run the executable and type:

python print 23

• When the GDB prints "23" everything works fine.
