I got an error while compiling gdb-5.0. 4.17 works well. inftarg.c: In function `child_has_exited': inftarg.c:715: request for member `w_S' in something not a structure or union inftarg.c:715: request for member `w_T' in something not a structure or union inftarg.c:721: request for member `w_S' in something not a structure or union inftarg.c:721: request for member `w_T' in something not a structure or union gmake[1]: *** [inftarg.o] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/export2/src/gdb-5.0/gdb' My mips-sony-bsd system is 4.3BSD based and has 'union wait'. So, fully POSIXised(?) code is always difficult to compile. For example, the error above is here. --->8------>8------>8------>8------>8------>8--- int child_has_exited (pid, wait_status, exit_status) int pid; int wait_status; int *exit_status; { if (WIFEXITED (wait_status)) [snip] --->8------>8------>8------>8------>8------>8--- Here, it is better to be like this. --->8------>8------>8------>8------>8------>8--- #if ... /* I don't know how to detect. */ typedef WAIT_T union wait; #else typedef WAIT_T int; #endif int child_has_exited (pid, wait_status, exit_status) int pid; WAIT_T wait_status; int *exit_status; { if (WIFEXITED ((WAIT_T)wait_status)) [snip] --->8------>8------>8------>8------>8------>8--- if GDB will support non-POSIX OSes. I'm afraid there are other problems... -- NAKAJI Hiroyuki
