It might be, if I could actually get it to build :-(
I downloaded the Windows version of Python-2.7.18, and installed it into
my wine-prefix. Getting the GDB build to actually acknowledge that it
was there was tricky; I needed:
#! /bin/sh
ln -fs "`cd && pwd`/.wine/drive_c" C:
C:/Python27/python.exe "$@" | sed 's?\r$??'
as an executable "win-python" script, in my $PATH, (with GNU sed's
interpretation of '\r'), and:
../src/gdb-9.2/configure --with-python=win-python ...
to get past the configuration check for python, but make fails:
CPPFLAGS=-I/mingw/include make
...
CXXLD gdb.exe
make[3]: Entering directory '/.../gdb-9.2-mingw32-cross-native/gdb'
python//.deps/py-arch.Po:1: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory '/.../gdb-9.2-mingw32-cross-native/gdb'
make[2]: *** [Makefile:1651: all] Error 2

make: *** [Makefile:859: all] Error 2
What does this mean? How do I fix it? The primary error message does
not convey much, by way of explanation; I'm normally quite tenacious,
but this sort of uninformative diagnostic is likely to persuade me to
abandon this exercise, right now, and commit to only a --without-python
MinGW-GDB build.
