I'm trying to build ethereal with debug info for use with gdb
on linux. I didn't see the usual debug option to configure
so I edited all the makefiles by removing the -O3 and replacing
it with a -g. I can see gcc use the -g on all the compiles
and the -g is there for the link stage.
Editing all the makefiles sounds like too much work.
I have had success in configuring custom CFLAGS using
something like:
$ CFLAGS=-g . ./configure ...
another possibility is to use
./configure --enable-debug=yes
but this does not seem to work for ethereal. The relevant lines from my
makefile are:
CFLAGS = -Wall -g -O2 -I$(top_srcdir) -I$(top_srcdir)/wiretap
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/lib/glib/include -I/usr/local/include
-I/usr/X11R6/include
COMPILE = $(CC) $(DEFS) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(AM_CFLAGS)
$(CFLAGS)
LINK = $(LIBTOOL) --mode=link $(CCLD) $(AM_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@
You might want to check the documentation for your shell. If you still have
problems, post again.
It might be desirable to make a patch to configure.in as it is obviously a
good idea to have a
documented way of getting a debug version of ethereal.
