To build GDB, you can just do:
You can build GDB right in the source directory:
cd gdb-5.0
./configure
make
cp gdb/gdb /usr/local/bin/gdb (or wherever you want)
However, we recommend that an empty directory be used instead.
This way you do not clutter your source tree with binary files
and will be able to create different builds with different
configuration options.
You can build GDB in any empty build directory:
mkdir build
cd build
<full path to your sources>/gdb-5.0/configure
make
(Building GDB with DJGPP tools for MS-DOS/MS-Windows is slightly
different; see the file gdb-5.0/gdb/config/djgpp/README for details.)
