How to debug VLC using gdb
Posted: 23 Aug 2006 03:16
vlc version:
0.8.5
gcc version:
4.1.1
my compile option:
compile env varible:
CFLAGS=-g or -ggdb or -g3
CXXFLAGS=-g or -ggdb or -g3
I also tried to use --enable-release and CFLAGS=-ggdb or CFLAGS=-g3 or CFLAGS=-g but all failed. I got two different results:
One: (with --enable-debug or set CFLAGS or set CXXFLAGS) vlc file size
The other: (with --enable-release without set CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS)
where is utils.c? Is there no vlc.c?
Thanks
Teddy
