bitbake gdbserver fails — Patch kill_arm_map_symbols.patch does not apply

[Nicolai Henriksen]

When I try to build the gdbserver it fails.

First of all, it cannot find the source code because gdb and gdbserver version 7.2 is no longer available. I downloaded the recipe for 7.2a from OpenEmbedded.

But it fails with an error in one of the patches.

Any hints?

Output from bitbake.

It looks like the gdb 7.2a tarball still unpacks to a ‘gdb-7.2’ subdirectory, so the recipe probably can’t find the unpacked source code because it is expecting it to be named ‘gdb-7.2a’.

Try putting the following in your gdbserver_7.2a.bb recipe (and any others):

S = "${WORKDIR}/gdb-7.2"

It is already there in the 7.2a recipe: (gdbserver_7.2a.bb)

require gdbserver.inc

LICENSE = "GPLv3"

PR = "${INC_PR}.0"

S = ${WORKDIR}/gdb-7.2

SRC_URI[md5sum] = "a9a8d0ea1ae57837fada5415bd0f92ff"
SRC_URI[sha256sum] = "9f51739cd45c158aa5df2e7abb703a304b5370e2e9e43c70f5cc0b1c4be5d0c2"


[Jesse Gilles]

Ah, have you updated any of the .inc files as well? They must have changed more than just the tarball name apparently.

[Nicolai Henriksen]

I downloaded the gdb.inc and gdbserver.inc and diff showed no changes. I also downloaded the gdb 7.2a recipe. My guess would be that GNU found a serious bug or omission in the release of 7.2 and then made 7.2a and removed 7.2.
