# HG changeset patch # User "Benoît THÉBAUDEAU" # Date 1307540863 -7200 # Node ID 9e2761e59a75a3abe6781fd47e2a5ad14f688d87 # Parent a5856225d851cae256be03278343c562b8ebdc54 debug/cross-gdb: check host dependencies Cross-gdb depends on expat and python. If either is missing, cross-gdb will build successfully, but lacking some features. Especially, if expat is missing, cross-gdb will be unable to parse the target description, which may lead to runtime malfunctions and the following GDB warning: "Can not parse XML target description; XML support was disabled at compile time" Hence, expat should be considered mandatory. On the other hand, the features missing without python are not critical, so python should not be considered mandatory. This patch does the following: - At configure time, warn the user if either expat or python is missing. - In menuconfig, disable the static build options regarding cross-gdb if no static version of expat is available, and disable cross-gdb if expat is missing.
