nios-build vs. nios-elf-gcc

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 I am trying to include the nios_gdb_stub code with my compilation, but am wanting to use gcc instead of nios-build (because I am using a makefile).  Does anyone know what the gcc equivalent of "nios-build -d" is? I cannot see anything in the gcc help files about how to compile/link the nios_gdb_stub...  Evan

Wow, this takes me back. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif  

 The nios-build executable is a script file, so you can take a look inside. I believe that the script does 2 things when you add the -d option to nios-build  (1) uses the -g and -O0 compiler flags (2) links against libnios_debug.a or something along those lines  Hope this helps
