3.2 Building GDB for AVR

In order to use simulavr as a backend to gdb, you must build a special AVR version of gdb. All gdb versions starting with gdb-5.2.1 officially support the AVR target. You can just configure gdb with the --target=avr option. For example, you can use this procedure to install avr-gdb in /usr/local/bin:

$ ./configure --target=avr
$ make
$ su
# make install
# exit
