Or, perhaps not. I've now got a working build (running in a Win7 VM) $ gdb --config This GDB was configured as follows: configure --host=mingw32 --target=mingw32 --with-auto-load-dir=$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load --with-auto-load-safe-path=$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load --with-expat --with-gdb-datadir=C:/MinGW/share/gdb (relocatable) --with-jit-reader-dir=C:/MinGW/lib/gdb (relocatable) --without-libunwind-ia64 --without-lzma --without-babeltrace --without-intel-pt --with-mpfr --without-xxhash --with-python=C:/Python27 --without-guile --disable-source-highlight --with-separate-debug-dir=C:/MinGW/lib/debug (relocatable) --with-sysroot=C:/MinGW (relocatable) --with-system-gdbinit=C:/MinGW/... (relocatable) ("Relocatable" means the directory can be moved with the GDB installation tree, and GDB will still find it.) Note that "C:/Python27" is the default installation location, as set by Python.org's MSI installer, (just as C:/MinGW is default for a MinGW installation delivered by mingw-get). It appears that it will remain at C:/Python27, even if a MinGW GDB installation is relocated elsewhere; (C:/Python27 is not identified as relocatable, by "gdb --config"). -- Regards, Keith.
