Insight debugger on Raspberry Pi

[radiolistener]

Does anyone tried to use Insight debugger on Raspberry Pi?

Here is the code: https://sourceware.org/git/insight.git

I tried to build it on Raspi OS Bookworm 6.6.32-v8+ aarch64, but there are a lot of missing functions in gdb binaries.

Prerequisites:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt install libgmp-dev libmpfr-dev tcl-dev tk-dev


Code: [Select]

git clone https://sourceware.org/git/insight.git
cd insight
git submodule init
then nano .gitmodules and replace url:

Code: [Select]

        url = https://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git
then:

Code: [Select]

git submodule sync
git submodule update --init --recursive
autoconf
./configure
make
it require about 2 GB disk space. But fails in the linker with missing functions in gdb binaries. Any idea how to fix?

Last Insight version dated by News from July 19, 2009 on its site. I guess that gdb gone far forward for last 15 years 
You can try to build old version of gdb (from 2009 year), but I afraid of problems with modern compiler and old gdb after that 

No, I'm wrong. They update Insight in git without new releases (and any News), in 'steals' mode 

According to logs you have a problem in building gdb itself. IMHO all unresolved symbols resides in source outside 'binutils/gdb' directory, but inside 'binutils/?' (I can't remember right now in what particular directory they resides).
Can you try to build 'vanila' gdb (without Insight)? Just to determine guilty part?
