GDB Build: Running into problems

[IWishIKnew]

I got this error:

*** BFD does not support target i686-pc-msys.
*** Look in bfd/config.bfd for supported targets.
make[1]: *** [configure-bfd] Error 1

Seems to be a compatibility issue, but I'm hoping that someone here might know how to fix it.

C:\mingw\1.0
C:\mingw

Environment variable sare set correctly... so... yeah... it's run with administrative priviledges.

I don't really know what to do from here...

64-bit native build mingw + boost (nuwen's distro)

windows 8.1 os
if you need any more information, feel free to ask.

I haven't successfully built GDB, but you can try the binary here https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/External%20binary%20packages%20(Win64%20hosted)/gdb/

EDIT:
Another option if you want a more up to date version of GDB and don't want to build it or re-build boost is install TDM mingw ( http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download ) and copy the boost headers and libs to TDM. They are both using gcc-4.8 so it should work.

hmm, thanks, I will give it a shot.

Error creating process C:\\Users\\username\\Desktop\\C++\\Current Projects\\Filesystem Macs\\dist\\Debug\\MinGW_1-Windows\\filesystem_macs.exe, (error 50).

well... i tried...

trying that tdm didn't work either. It couldn't get past g++...
