RE: gdb-5.0 build error on IRIX 6.5

[Dragos Liciu]

Thanks for answers (David B. Anderson and Marius Seritan).

I tried to build gdb-5.0 with the gnu version of make.
As a result, I have another error:

-----------

-------------------

The same error appeared subsequently, when trying to build gdb-4.18 on IRIX
6.5.
I've looked for these three symbols (TARGET_O_RDONLY, TARGET_O_WRONLY,
TARGET_O_RDWR) into the gdb sources; unfortunately I did't find any
definition of them.

If you know how to fix that, please let me know.

I'll hazard a guess.

It seems likely you are using IRIX 'make' and that's not
going to work: there are various small dependencies on
using 'gnu make' in many software packages on the net.
Including gdb.

Instead install gnu make (you could call it 'gmake' 
on your machine)
(from http://freeware.sgi.com, for example) 

and do
        gmake
