This defaults to the `gdb' subdirectory of `datadir' (which can be set using `--datadir'). +`--with-relocated-sources=DIR' + Sets up the default source path substitution rule so that + directory names recorded in debug information will be + automatically adjusted for any directory under DIR. DIR should + be a subdirectory of GDB's configured prefix, the one mentioned + in the `--prefix' or `--exec-prefix' options to configure. This + option is useful if GDB is supposed to be moved to a different + place after it is built. + +`--enable-64-bit-bfd' + Enable 64-bit support in BFD on 32-bit hosts. + +`--disable-gdbmi' + Build GDB without the GDB/MI machine interface. + +`--enable-tui' + Build GDB with the text-mode full-screen user interface (TUI). + Requires a curses library (ncurses and cursesX are also + supported). + +`--enable-gdbtk' + Build GDB with the gdbtk GUI interface. Requires TCL/Tk to be + installed. + +`--with-libunwind' + Use the libunwind library for unwinding function call stack. See + http://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/index.html fro details. + Supported only on some platforms. + +`--with-curses' + Use the curses library instead of the termcap library, for + text-mode terminal operations. + +`--enable-profiling' Enable profiling of GDB itself. Necessary if you + want to use the "maint set profile" command for profiling GDB. + Requires the functions `monstartup' and `_mcleanup' to be present + in the standard C library used to build GDB, and also requires a + compiler that supports the `-pg' option. + +`--with-system-readline' + Use the readline library installed on the host, rather than the + library supplied as part of GDB tarball. + +`--with-expat' + Build GDB with the libexpat library. (Done by default if + libexpat is installed and found at configure time.) This library + is used to read XML files supplied with GDB. If it is + unavailable, some features, such as remote protocol memory maps, + target descriptions, and shared library lists, that are based on + XML files, will not be available in GDB. If your host does not + have libexpat installed, you can get the latest version from + http://expat.sourceforge.net. + +`--with-python[=PATH]' + Build GDB with Python scripting support. (Done by default if + libpython is present and found at configure time.) Python makes + GDB scripting much more powerful than the restricted CLI + scripting language. If your host does not have Python installed, + you can find it on http://www.python.org/download/. The oldest + version of Python supported by GDB is 2.4. The optional argument + PATH says where to find the Python headers and libraries; the + configure script will look in PATH/include for headers and in + PATH/lib for the libraries. + +`--without-included-regex' + Don't use the regex library included with GDB (as part of the + libiberty library). This is the default on hosts with version 2 + of the GNU C library. + +`--with-sysroot=DIR' + Use DIR as the default system root directory for libraries whose + file names begin with `/lib' or `/usr/lib'. (The value of DIR + can be modified at run time by using the "set sysroot" command.) + If DIR is under the GDB configured prefix (set with `--prefix' or + `--exec-prefix' options), the default system root will be + automatically adjusted if and when GDB is moved to a different + location. + +`--with-system-gdbinit=FILE' + Configure GDB to automatically load a system-wide init file. + FILE should be an absolute file name. If FILE is in a directory + under the configured prefix, and GDB is moved to another location + after being built, the location of the system-wide init file will + be adjusted accordingly. + `configure' accepts other options, for compatibility with configuring other GNU tools recursively; but these are the only options that affect GDB or its supporting libraries. |
