GDB build is so minimal :(

[jacknicklenson]

when i typed: gdb --config it ouputs:

This GDB was configured as follows:
   configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32
             --with-auto-load-dir=$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load
             --with-auto-load-safe-path=$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load
             --without-expat
             --with-gdb-datadir=/e/temp/gcc/dest/share/gdb (relocatable)
             --with-jit-reader-dir=/e/temp/gcc/dest/lib/gdb (relocatable)
             --without-libunwind-ia64
             --without-lzma
             --without-babeltrace
             --without-intel-pt
             --without-xxhash
             --without-python
             --without-python-libdir
             --without-debuginfod
             --without-curses
             --without-guile
             --without-amd-dbgapi
             --disable-source-highlight
             --enable-threading
             --disable-tui
             --without-system-readline
             --with-separate-debug-dir=/e/temp/gcc/dest/lib/debug (relocatable)

("Relocatable" means the directory can be moved with the GDB installation
tree, and GDB will still find it.)

as it shows, built with --disable-tui and --without-python so i cannot use https://github.com/cyrus-and/gdb-dashboard because there is no python support and also i cannot use tui mode inside gdb as well. Is there any chance to add gdb with python support or at least tui mode?

Try MSYS2?

[jacknicklenson]

yeah i know but if i install msys2, i will lost the benefit of scoop, msys2 is another big system with its own package manager, i have git-bash, gcc, make, gdb all tools installed with scoop but installing another whole system just for gdb is overkill i guess 😞. But thx anyway 👍

I think it's either limited by platform support, or a single component.

Maybe you can compile your GDB from source code. It's difficult but can solve any problem :).
