In package/gdb/gdb.mk, you will have to update the HOST_GDB_CONF_OPT variable. You shouldn't add --prefix, but only the --with-python flag. Since not everyone will want this python dependency, you probably should add an option for this. This is done in package/gdb/Config.in.host I suggest to have a look at the recent TUI support that was added in Buildroot for GDB, I think that the way to handle python support is very similar, except that instead of host-ncurses as dependency, you'll add host-python. Additionally, from the Config.in.host file, you'll have to select BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON. Due to this, you'll also need to propagate the dependencies of python (seen in package/python/Config.in) as dependencies of your new gdb-python-support option. Have a look at http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#_literal_config_in_literal_file for this part. > > Could someone give me the guideline to contribute to Buildroot? In general, there is some documentation at http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#_developer_guide Specifically for adding packages (or modifying existing packages), see http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#adding-packages .

I'm not sure that we want our own-build host-python... You may want to use some of the system's python packages, for example. So I think it is better to drop the host-python dependency, and use the system python instead. (Note that python is a dependency of buildroot.) > Additionally, from the Config.in.host file, you'll have to select > BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON. Due to this, you'll also need to propagate the Huh? We are talking about the host-gdb here, so why do you need a target python? One more thing: on AVR we still use gdb 6.7 which doesn't have python support, so something must be done to catch that.

I originally mistakenly wrote this mail with target gdb/python in mind but forgot to fix this part. Best regards, Thomas ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

FWIW, I've sent a patch series at http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2014-September/106205.html that provides Python support for both the host gdb and target gdb.
