The problem was due to duplicate modules present both in the base frozen modules and also in the extra modules list file. This commit should allow us to import gdb and pygments again.
Frozen static builds of everyone's favorite debugger!🧊
TL;DR
- Download: Get the latest release from the releases page.
Introduction
Who doesn't love GDB? It's such a powerful tool, with such a great package.
But sometimes, you run into one of these problems:
- You can't install GDB on your machine
- You can't install an updated version of GDB on your machine
- Some other strange embedded reasons...
This is where gdb-static comes in! We provide static builds of gdb (and gdbserver of course), so you can run them on any machine, without any dependencies!
Features
- Static Builds: No dependencies, no installation, just download and run!
- Latest Versions: We keep our builds up-to-date with the latest versions of GDB.
- Builtin Python (Optional): We provide builds with Python support built-in.
- XML Support: Our builds come with XML support built-in, which is useful for some GDB commands.
- Wide Architecture Support: We support a wide range of architectures:
- aarch64
- arm
- mips
- mipsel
- powerpc
- x86_64
Usage
To get started with gdb-static, simply download the build for your architecture from the releases page, extract the archive, and copy the binary to your desired platform.
Note
We provide two types of builds:
- Builds with Python support, which are approximately ~30 MB in size.
- Slimmer builds without Python support, which are approximately ~7 MB in size.
You may choose to copy the gdb binary to the platform, or use gdbserver to debug remotely.
Development
Note
Before building, make sure to initialize & sync the git submodules.
Alternatively, you can build gdb-static from source. To do so, follow the instructions below:
Pre-requisites
To be able to build `gdb-static`, you will need the following tools installed on your machine:
- Docker
- Docker buildx
- Git
Building for a specific architecture
To build gdb-static for a specific architecture, run the following command:
make build[-with-python]-<ARCH>
Where <ARCH> is the architecture you want to build for, and -with-python may be added in order to compile gdb with Python support.
The resulting binary will be placed in the build/artifacts/ directory:
build/
└── artifacts/
└── <ARCH>/
└── ...
Building for all architectures
To build gdb-static for all supported architectures, run the following command:
make build
The resulting binary will be placed in the build/artifacts/ directory.
