To do this, type `config.gdb +machine', where machine is something like `vax' or `sun2'. This +creates links named `param.h', `m-init.h', `opcode.h', and `pinsn.c'. +(Note: we lack information on certain machines.) + +Also, `Makefile' must be changed to say `OBSTACK = obstack.o' instead +of `OBSTACK=-lobstack' (unless you want to install obstack.o as +/lib/libobstack.a). + +Once these files are set up, just `make' will do everything, +producing an executable `gdb' in this directory. + +About the machine-dependent files... + +m-.h + +This file contains macro definitions that express information +about the machine's registers, stack frame format and instructions. + +m-init.h + +This file defines one macro, which says how to round up from the +address of the end of the text of one .o file to the beginning of +the text of the next .o file. + +-opcode.h, -pinsn.c +These files contain the information necessary to print instructions +for your cpu type. -- cgit v1.1
