riscv64-unknown-elf-gdb: Installation error: gdb._execute_unwinders function is missing

[Happytreat]

Hi, I am currently work on xv6 riscv and it seems that riscv64-unknown-elf-gdb doesn't work. Could you please help me with it?

After running riscv64-unknown-elf-gdb, the ERROR message was:

Python Exception <type 'exceptions.NameError'> Installation error: gdb._execute_unwinders function is missing

.gdbinit: (Expected to work)

set confirm off
set architecture riscv:rv64
target remote 127.0.0.1:25501
symbol-file kernel/kernel
set disassemble-next-line auto

How are you intending to use gdb in this context? In other words, what is emulating RISC-V on your mac?

I just copy the /usr/local/Cellar/gdb/10.1/share/gdb/python to the folder, looks like the problem solved.

Please tell me to copy to which folder, I'm facing the same problem you've met.

cd /usr/local/Cellar/riscv-gnu-toolchain/master/share
mkdir gdb
cd gdb
cp -r /usr/local/Cellar/gdb/10.2/share/gdb/python .

@Smith-Cruise Executing these commands seems to solve my problem.
