Arch Linux

I also removed the dependency on msp430-gcc as pingu suggested and it's working fine. Also, I had to use the -Wno-error=unused-value option when compiling.

FYI, I removed the dependency on msp430-gcc (which requires an old version of GCC to build), and it seems to work just fine.

Thanks nboichat, updated the pkgbuild with your patch.

There are a few problems with the PKGBUILD, at least with pacman 4.1 and gcc 4.8:
- ${_builddir} is never created (when it is defined, $srcdir is not defined yet)
- makepkg sets CPPFLAGS="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2", this causes problems in configure as this option needs an optimization flag as well (newer autoconf fix the problem, but this gdb is old, hence the problem). Manually add "-O2" to CPPFLAGS to circumvent the problem.
- The error reported below by brdavies below. Fixed by applied a patch from gdb upstream (http://sourceware.org/git/?p=gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=7f62f13c2b535c6a23035407f1c8a36ad7993dec)

Please find patch to an updated PKGBUILD in pastebin: http://pastebin.com/CfZzXmc6 .

7.2a-4: Fails to build with gcc 4.8:

.../msp430-gdb/src/gdb-7.2/bfd/bfdio.c:580:30: error: argument to 'sizeof' in 'memset' call is the same expression as the destination; did you mean to dereference it? [-Werror=sizeof-pointer-memaccess]

7.2a-4: texinfo 5.0 fixes.

7.2a-3: there's actually a patch from the mspgcc-20120406 release I forgot to use.

7.2a-2: mspgcc-20120406 rebuild

7.2a-1: fixed gdb url, thanks s_tec

The gdb-7.2.tar.bz2 package longer seems to be present on any mirrors, so the package no longer builds.

7.2-7: rebuild
