七、Ubuntu系统上gdb工具编译

     本文编译的gdb版本为8.3。

一、系统编译环境搭建

编译之前请自行安装gcc等相关编译环境，而且还要安装 texinfo 这个工具，否则会出现如下错误

/home/jack/Downloads/gdb-8.3/missing: 81: /home/jack/Downloads/gdb-8.3/missing: makeinfo: not found
WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or
         any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.
         You might want to install the Texinfo package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
         The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of
         using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might
         want to install GNU make:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/>

make[5]: *** [gdb.info] Error 127

    执行以下命令安装即可

sudo apt-get install texinfo

二、GDB源代码修改  

    环境安装成功后,将源代码解压出来

tar -zxvf ./gdb-8.3.tar.gz

如果要进行gdb远程调试，则需要对remote.c文件中的代码进行修改。 

将

  if (buf_len > 2 * rsa->sizeof_g_packet)

    error (_("Remote 'g' packet reply is too long (expected %ld bytes, got %d "
	     "bytes): %s"),
	   rsa->sizeof_g_packet, buf_len / 2,
	   rs->buf.data ());

修改为

#if 0
  if (buf_len > 2 * rsa->sizeof_g_packet)

    error (_("Remote 'g' packet reply is too long (expected %ld bytes, got %d "
	     "bytes): %s"),
	   rsa->sizeof_g_packet, buf_len / 2,
	   rs->buf.data ());
#else
 if (buf_len > 2 * rsa->sizeof_g_packet) {
    rsa->sizeof_g_packet = buf_len;
    for (i = 0; i < gdbarch_num_regs(gdbarch); i++) {
        if (rsa->regs[i].pnum == -1)    
            continue;
        if (rsa->regs[i].offset >= rsa->sizeof_g_packet)
            rsa->regs[i].in_g_packet = 0;
        else
            rsa->regs[i].in_g_packet = 1;
    }
  }
#endif

三、配置脚本及编译安装

   执行如下指令

./configure --target=arm-linux --program-prefix=arm-linux- --prefix=`pwd`/output/
make && make install

  如无问题,在gdb的编译目录下面可以看到output文件夹，相关的执行文件在这里面。

 

四、未解之谜

   目前发现如果使用git管理gdb源代码(从gitlab仓库中拉取代码)，然后通过步骤三进行编译，会出现报错，而且这些错误都是随机的。

   解决方式，通过解压 gdb-8.3.tar.gz 这个压缩包覆盖仓库代码(被修改过的文件,无需覆盖)，然后重新编译即可。
