So you just installed Fedora, RHEL or CentOS and now you want to build GDB from source.

1. How do you make sure everything you need to build it is installed?

   # dnf builddep gdb

2. Did it say, No such command: builddep? Do this, then try again:

   # dnf install dnf-plugins-core

3. Did it say, dnf: command not found…? You’re using yum, try this:

   # yum-builddep gdb

4. Did it say, yum-builddep: command not found…? Do this, then try again:

   # yum install yum-utils

Thank you, you’re welcome.
