Workaround to install SDK on Mint (Ubuntu based) but without gdb.

[joseluisquiroga]

To install the SDK in Mint:

1. Install all packages in https://github.com/adapteva/epiphany-sdk/wiki/Building-on-Linux
   and also:

2. sudo apt-get install guile-1.8 dh-autoreconf

(it did not build with guile-2.0)

3. Do not build nor install gdb because it fails with "Build Error, multiple definitions of 'xmalloc'":

Edit the file ./sdk/build-toolchain.sh
find the string "Building tool chain..."
remove parameter "all-gdb" passed to make

find the string "Installing tool chain..."
remove parameter "install-gdb" passed to make

4. run ./sdk/build-epiphany-sdk.sh

thank you Jose!! removing those lines in build-toolchain allowed me to build successfully!!

i wonder what the 'gdb' build in the toolchain does

It is the gnu debugger. But some thing tells me you already knew that. Thank you for encouraging me to contribute.  I wonder what your contributing user is. Enviado desde Samsung tablet
