RE: [Ltib] RE: Reg ltib

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Neha,

It looks like you have nothing selected within gdb to build.  Run:

./ltib -m config

and make sure you have these selected:

          [*] gdb
          [ ]   gdb to run natively on the target 
          [*]   cross gdb (runs on build machine)
          [*]   gdbserver to run natively on the target

Regards, Stuart
