There's no need to do that. You can simply install the debug symbols for these libraries. The most important packages are libgtk2.0-0-dbg and libglibglib2.0-0-dbg. > For > example, this is the autogen command I use to configure a fresh checkout > of GIMP trunk: > > export CFLAGS='-g -O0'; ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /opt/glib-trunk/share/aclocal > -I /opt/gtk-trunk/share/aclocal" > PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/babl-trunk/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/libexif-0.6.17/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/glib-trunk/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/gtk-trunk/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/gegl-trunk/lib/pkgconfig > LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/babl-trunk/lib:/opt/libexif-0.6.17/lib:/opt/glib-trunk/lib:/opt/gtk-trunk/lib:/opt/gegl-trunk/lib > ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-trunk If you follow my advice to install babl and GEGL into /usr/local, you can just run autogen.sh without any extra arguments.
