This commit splits the readme file into 2 files - the readme which contains instructions on how to download our latest release, and on how to use our build scripts in order to quickly build gdb statically. The second file is a compilation guide that contains explanations on how to manually compile gdb statically.
Repository of static gdb and gdbserver
The statically compiled gdb / gdbserver binaries are avaliable to download under github releases!
link: gdb-static github releases
For manual gdb/gdbserver compilation instructions, have a look at the compilation.md file
Compiling gdb using docker
This repository contains a dockerfile and build scripts to compile gdb and gdbserver statically for multiple architectures. Currently, the supported architectures are:
- x86_64
- arm
- aarch64
- powerpc (32bit) You can easily expand it to support more architectures by adding the appropriate cross compilers to the dockerfile, and other build scripts.
NOTE: You don't need to interact with the dockerfile directly, as the Makefile will take care of everything for you.
Building for a specific architecture
To build for a specific architecture, you can use the following command:
make build-<ARCH>
For example, to build for arm:
make build-arm
The resulting binaries will be placed under the build/artifacts/ directory.
Each architecture will have its own directory under build/artifacts/. For example, the arm architecture will have the following directory structure:
build/
artifacts/
arm/
...
Building for all architectures
To build for all architectures, you can use the following command:
make build
Cleaning the build
To clean the build, you can use the following command:
make clean
