Gdb with lzma but still has the warning " LZMA support was disabled at compile time"

Question

When I open the dve-full64, it has this following warnings and fail to open.

warning: Cannot parse .gnu_debugdata section; LZMA support was disabled at compile time

Even when I had install gdb with lzma, this warning still exist. It is my configuration of gdb.

$ gdb --configuration
This GDB was configured as follows:
   configure --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
             --with-auto-load-dir=$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load
             --with-auto-load-safe-path=$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load
             --with-expat
             --with-gdb-datadir=/usr/local/share/gdb (relocatable)
             --with-jit-reader-dir=/usr/local/lib/gdb (relocatable)
             --without-libunwind-ia64
             --with-lzma
             --with-python=/usr
             --without-guile
             --with-separate-debug-dir=/usr/local/lib/debug (relocatable)

How can I resolve this problem

It should not be possible that `gdb --configuration` shows `--with-lzma`, and still get that warning, because they check the same config.h define `HAVE_LIBLZMA`. — ssbssa, Jan 07 '23 at 18:40

How can I resolve this problem

The fact that you ran configure --with-lzma doesn't mean this GDB was built with it (and given the warning, we can be pretty sure it was built without LZMA).

You need to examine config.log and find out why --with-lzma didn't have desired effect. Probably lzma-dev (or similar) package is missing, and the headers / libraries it provides were not found (or where not usable) at configuration time.
