Hi chaps!
I'm looking at setting up a remote debug box for my dev machine (G4
PM) but
I'm wondering what debug configurations are known to work. I don't
have a
second mac, so thats not a possibility for me, but I do have a few old
PC's
around. Has anyone had success using an x86 darwin box for remotely
debugging
a mac running darwin? I'm not sure if this is likly to be a big nono or
not...!
"real" gdb supports cross-target debugging, so I figured I'd have a
quick
look. The Apple changes don't appear to have made it into the latest
gdb release, so I grabbed the gdb tarball from Apple's site, and tried
building under i386 NetBSD for a powerpc-apple-macos10 target. Configure
ran fine, and the build seemed to compile much of gdb, but broke down
on macosx files with header dependencies (mostly mach related). I tried
to give it what it wanted, but there's too many differences and would
take
more time than I was prepared to spend to see if I could get it past the
compile stage.
My guess is you may have far more luck on x86 Darwin, I'm guessing it
may even build clean. No bets as to whether it would work, though. As
always, try it and see!
Cheers,
