@ -42,3 +42,28 @@ Some functions, e.g. fputs_filtered() or error(), specify that they
that any actions you need to reverse in the case of an error or
interruption must be on the cleanup chain before you call these functions,
since they might never return to your code (they "longjmp" instead).
Configuring GDB for release
GDB should be released after doing "config.gdb none" in the top level
directory. This will leave a makefile there, but no tm- or xm- files.
The makefile is needed, for example, for "make gdb.tar.Z"... If you
have tm- or xm-files in the main source directory, C's include rules
cause them to be used in preference to tm- and xm-files in the
subdirectories where the user will actually configure and build the
binaries.
"config.gdb none" is also a good way to rebuild the top level Makefile
after changing Makefile.dist, alldeps.mak, etc.
The README file
Check the README file, it often has useful information that does not
appear anywhere else in the directory.
