Hi, I have segfaulting lxrandr and I was referred to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Debug_-_Getting_Traces after filing bug report. I've installed ABS, modified PKGBUILD and made my own /etc/makepkg-dev.conf makepkg -sf --config /etc/makepkg-dev.conf generates the executable. Still gdb gives very little info after running cd lxrandr/pkg/lxrandr/usr/bin gdb -ex "set logging file debug.log" -ex "set logging overwrite on" -ex "thread apply all bt full" -ex "set logging on" -ex "run" -ex "backtrace" -ex "frame 0" -ex "kill" -ex "quit" ./lxrandr I'm guessing because I need to add debugging to libraries which lxrandr is using too. In the wiki there's --- snip --- Note: It is insufficient to simply install the newly compiled debug package, because the debugger will check that the file containing the debug symbols is from the same build as the associated library and executable. You must install both of the recompiled packages. In Arch, the debug symbols files are installed under /usr/lib/debug. See the GDB documentation for more information about debug packages. --- snip --- But as a non c/c++ dev this doesn't say anything. What do I need to install/run and where? So could the wiki page be enhanced by adding concrete example(s)? Original bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/51480 -- Pekka Järvinen
