Thiago, yes. i will. PS: now there is a platform/external/gdb.git tree in http://android.git.linaro.org/gitweb. i would suggest linaro make the gdb compilable with an Android.mk by arm-eabi-gcc just like other external components something like: LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir) include $(CLEAR_VARS) LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := eng LOCAL_MODULE := gdb LOCAL_SRC_FILES += \ ... \ include $(BUILD_EXECUTABLE) finally, i hope that will result in a native gdb running on boards and supporting multithreads. that is actually very useful to many users. > -- > []'s > Thiago Jung Bauermann > Linaro Toolchain Working Group -barry _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
