runing ./configure on gdb 7.5.50 sources


Hello,

I would like to patch my current version of gdb (7.5.50.20120815-cvs (cygwin-special)) on a cygwin 1.7.17-1 installation.

Prior to that, I tried to build the original gdb sources, which I downloaded using setup.exe and selecting them.

Without modifying any source code of gdb, I run ./configure from my source folder:

C:\cygwin\usr\src\gdb-7.5.50-1

After a set of checks, configure hangs at the gnum4 check, at least more than 2 hours. The whole output from configure is the following:

checking build system type... i686-pc-cygwin
checking host system type... i686-pc-cygwin
checking target system type... i686-pc-cygwin

I also tried to run ./configure from the gdb folder (C:\cygwin\usr\src\gdb-7.5.50-1\gdb), but in this case, after a longer output, configure gives the following error message:


"checking for Tcl private headers... configure: error: could not find private Tcl headers"

I do have tcl and tcl-tk installed (version 8.5.11-1). Some of my other version details are:

gdb      : 7.5.50
gcc-4    : 4.5.3
gnu m4   : 1.4.16
gnatmake : 4.5.3
cygwin   : 1.7.17-1
Windows OS: Windows XP SP3

Has anybody found similar problems? Thanks for your time,

Jose
