insight V6.0

[graeme mawson]

Hi,

 

I'm new to this GNU environment so I may not be providing all the information you require, or indeed notifying the right people. But I have got an error which requests that I report it to you

 

I am using cygwin(not sure of the version but it was loaded off the web in DEC 2003) under windowsXP

 

I have managed to down load, build and install

binutils 2.14

gcc 3.3.2

newlib 1.11.0

 

all these appear to be working in so much as I have managed to build programmes which download to my mips target and run OK using the ld option OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf-bigmips)

Now I would like to be able to debug so I have downloaded insight V6.0. I have pmon loaded and running on the remote system which is working OK with Green hills multi debugger)

 

which I have built and installed

(configuration options --host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=mips-mips-elf --prefix=/usr)

 

after changing the define and reference for FILE_EXISTS to FILE_ALREADY_EXISTS this all seems to build OK

running $mips-mips-elf-gdb certainly starts and runs the GDB in command line mode.

 

however if I try to load my target file using the command lie

$mips-mips-elf-gdb hw_menu.elf

 

I get the following error

I will not send the elf file at this time as it is rather large (27meg), but should you require it or any further information, please feel free to ask.

 

If there is something I can do to overcome this problem please let me know.

 

Also while I have your attention do I still need to use the tkl files from v5.1?

 

 

yours sincerely
