Haiku specific Release Engineering

Haiku is unix like enough to use the Freepascal's unix scripts to generate a binary distribution.

Getting binaries for debugging support in the IDE

While you can compile gdb on your own, the easiest way (by far) under Haiku is to build Haiku yourself.

Then, you can collect all the needed files in the build tree :

• libgdb.a in generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/bin/gdb/gdb
• libbfd.a in generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/bin/gdb/bfd
• libiberty.a in generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/bin/gdb/libiberty
• libopcodes.a in generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/bin/gdb/opcodes
• libreadline.a in generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/bin/gdb/readline

• libintl.a in generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/bin/gawk/intl/

• libgcc.a in /boot/develop/abi/x86/gcc2/tools/gcc-2.95.3-haiku-081024/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-haiku/2.95.3-haiku-081024 (you may have to adapt the path to the installed gcc version on your machine).
