GDB Internals - Configuring GDB for Release

Go to the previous, next section.

Configuring GDB for Release

From the top level directory (containing `gdb', `bfd', `libiberty', and so on):

make -f Makefile.in gdb.tar.Z

This will properly configure, clean, rebuild any files that are distributed pre-built (e.g. `c-exp.tab.c' or `refcard.ps'), and will then make a tarfile. (If the top level directory has already beenn configured, you can just do make gdb.tar.Z instead.)

This procedure requires:

... and the usual slew of utilities (sed, tar, etc.).

TEMPORARY RELEASE PROCEDURE FOR DOCUMENTATION

`gdb.texinfo' is currently marked up using the texinfo-2 macros, which are not yet a default for anything (but we have to start using them sometime).

For making paper, the only thing this implies is the right generation of `texinfo.tex' needs to be included in the distribution.

For making info files, however, rather than duplicating the texinfo2 distribution, generate `gdb-all.texinfo' locally, and include the files `gdb.info*' in the distribution. Note the plural; makeinfo will split the document into one overall file and five or so included files.
