gdb from mbxroot.full.tgz complains: Not a typewriter

[Graham Stoney]

I'm using mbxroot.full.tgz to develop/test a linuxppc-embedded application on
an Embedded Planet CLLF board, and I'm having some trouble running its gdb
on the target. (I'm not using gdbserver here). When I run my program under
gdb, and it stops at a breakpoint, I get the warning:

    [tcsetpgrp failed in terminal_inferior: Not a typewriter]

after this, gdb no longer accepts my keyboard input.

My guess is that the problem is caused by the kernel simply spawning a shell
without starting init, and is probably the same thing that stops CTRL-C working
on the console shell. My question then, is this: what's the simplest way to
make a shell on the console act like a normal shell on a host machine?

Thanks,
Graham

you need Dan Malek's sash patch. In addition, complicated terminal I/O might
be affected by a bug that Pavel Roskin fixed a few days ago (and posted
here).

Or better, start up the network servers and use telnet to
log into the embedded board.

How to build cross-compile environment under unix-similar cygwin on Win98 ?

[dony]

Hi:
   Now I want to build a cross-compile enviroment under unix-similar cygwin on
win98.
    By following some suggestions , Now I have installed Full.exe and
Insight-19991101*.tar.gz. I find that the development tools such as gcc, ld,
as, etc... is for X86.
And the insight (also GUI gdb) is also for X86(right ?).
     Now I have to build a cross-compile environment for Powerpc on win98. Is
it possible?
I think I can do the similar things as I have done on Linux by using the
following packages:
     binutils-*.tar.gz
     gcc-core-*.tar.gz
     gcc-*.tar.gz
     glibc-*.tar.gz
     glibc-crypt-*.tar.gz
     glibc-linuxthreads-*.tar.gz    ==>this file may be changed to other files.

Any suggestions?
Thank you very much.
dony
