No Debug Symbols for Xboard?

Hi guys, i'm trying to create debug symbols for xboard.
I've followed this ( http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Deb … ing_Traces ) and i've created this:
# $Id: PKGBUILD 22465 2008-12-26 20:58:13Z jgc $

pkgname=xboard
pkgver=4.2.7
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="XBoard is a graphical user interfaces for chess"
depends=('libxaw')

build() {
export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -g"
export CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -g"
cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man || return 1
make || return 1
make prefix="${pkgdir}/usr" mandir="${pkgdir}/usr/share/man" install || return 1
rm -f "${pkgdir}/usr/share/info/dir"
after that i run makepkg and pacman -U xboard-4.2.7-3-i686.pkg.tar.gz
but when i start gdb xboard i see this:
#gdb xboard

This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-linux-gnu"...
(no debugging symbols found)
i've verified xboard in /usr/bin is updated. What did i do wrong?
Thanks

How to get debugging symbols for libGL.so.1 library? (nvidia-utils)

Hello all
Will see, I am getting many crashes of applications in KDE. In the majority of these accidents I get a backtrace from KBugbuster (or whatever that application is called) that includes the library libGL.so.1. Here a small example:
#0 0xb7888424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1 0xb54d198b in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
#2 0xb57740ec in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib/libc.so.6
#3 0xb2926af3 in vlc_cond_wait () from /usr/lib/libvlccore.so.4
#4 0xb28a412e in ?? () from /usr/lib/libvlccore.so.4
#5 0xafac170c in ?? () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
#6 0x00000000 in ?? ()
I know libGL.so.1 is a library included into nvidia-utils package becouse:
$ pacman -Ql | grep /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
nvidia-utils /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
I downloaded the PKGBUILD for nvidia-utils through abs and I changed it a bit by adding the !strip flag at the option field:
options=('!strip')
But it did not work. Today, still, I don't have debugging symbols for libGL.so.1. I have corroborated this using nm command:
$ nm -a /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
nm: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1: no symbols
Watching the PKGBUILD for nvidia-utils I see this is not a build, apparently it only download the files and put them in the appropriate places. I think this is why the flag !strip does not work in this case.
So I have looked for information at the official nvidia site for compiling libGL.so.1 by myself but only appears complex information for developers not for a end user like me.
Can anyone guide me or something with this? please.
Thanks so much.

Hi Alexander,
As you need read-only access to the SBO database, you could use a straight database connection. You could maybe use the following Microsoft php extension:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=ccdf728b-1ea0-48a8-a84a-5052214caad9&displaylang=en
The Web Service wrapper for the DI Server is a good solution if you want to be able to write data back to SBO. Please note the DI Server requires additional licensing from SAP.
You don't mention what database platform is used by your e-shop site. An alternative approach would be to use an integration tool (something like Pentaho) to pull or push data between the e-shop database and the SBO database (again, this is only possible for reading data from SBO not writing).
Kind Regards,
Owen

Getting debug symbols for stable version of KDE apps

Is there a way of loading a stable version of KDE with the debug symbols compiled in ? I use KDE extensively and need a stable working environment however I would like to contribute useful bug reports.
Ability to add debug versions of specific apps would be a nice to have.
thanks for reading and happy thanksgiving !
Vikram

If, for example, kwin is crashing, which kde packages need to be rebuilt?
I just tried building & installing kdebase-workspace, but I ended up destroying my kde installation completely and had to uninstall and reinstall every kde package to get it working again.
Would I have to build everything in abs extra/kde*?

Debug Symbols for OraOLEDB10.dll - 10.2g

Where can I obtain the debug symbols (*.PDB) for OraOLEDB10.dll, OraOLEDBrst10.dll, etc.? I'm trying to analyze a memory dump and need the PDBs to analyze the stack correctly.
Thanks
Mike

AFAIK they have never shipped symbols. One good idea is to bulletproof your code with basic things like failure checks after every JNI call, input parameter validation, and running with the "-Xcheck:jni" option. It seems like a lot of people don't do those things, judging by a lot of the code samples posted in this forum. But that sort of defensive programming should really stop 99% of any JVM crashes.

SUNWspro C++ option to generate debug symbols for GDB

Hi,
I support a set of programs that must be built with SUNWspro 6.2 C++ compiler. When I try to debug these programs via gdb, gdb comlpains that the binaries have no debug symbols found. Is there an option to SUNWspro 6.2 C++ compiler to produce extra debugging symbols suitable for gdb debug sessions? NOTE: these exact binaries are debuggable using dbx, which does not complain about missing debug info. I would like to used gdb, however, if that is possible. Also NOTE: If I compile the whole thing in GCC, then GDB works fine .... bu, by policy, we cannot deploy GCC built niaries into our PROD environment.
Buidl with SUNWSpro 6.2 C++ compiler and debug via gdb. Is that possible?

{color:#800000}+{color:#808080}And I feel I must ask why can't you use dbx? Are there any features missing or it is just an unfamiliar environment?+
+{color}+{color:#808080}{color:#0000ff}Very good question. To be frank, I am extremely envious of the modern C++ development environments enjoyed by the Linux/EclipseCDT/GCC community. I can't fully enjoy that environment because by my client's mandate is that I must use the SUNWspro 6.2 CC++ compiler. I can still use Eclipse with CDT 5.0 environment for development. And I can still build, for my own confirmation purposes via GCC, but when I deploy my build to production, I must make the final binary with. And that forces me to use dbx for debugging those builds. And it leaves me left out with all the very, very nice distributed debugging features that come with Eclipse CDT 5.0 (Eclipse CDT has no support for dbx, just gdb, and no support for SUNWspro C++ build chain. just GCC).
Stranded on this point, I use SunStudio11 with its dbx support to distibuted debugging of my production binary builds. It is way, way behind what others are doing with Linux/EclipseCDT/GCC.
In my ideal world, I would develop from Eclipse CDT 5.0 supported by the SUNWspro C++ build chain that would produce gdb-compatible compatible debugging symbols. Then I could take advantage of Eclipse's very nice distributed debugging capabilites.
No offense to SunStuido, but if I could achieve that reality I would no longer be envious of the Linux/MSFT/etc. C++ IDEs.

Symbols for wmp.dll on Windows 8.1?

Hi, I'm trying to load the debugging symbols for wmp.dll on Windows 8.1, but the symchk output shows that they don't exist on the Microsoft symbol server (see below). I've also installed the Windows 8.1 x86 32-bit retail symbols from
here, but that doesn't contain the wmp.dll symbols either. Is this an oversight from Microsoft's side, or am I doing something wrong or looking in the wrong places?
Thanks!

Yes, it looks like the matching pdb for your version of wmp.dll is missing on the MS-symbol-server. Could be a glitch on their side.
Symbols in 'Windows symbol packages' include sometimes 'outdated' symbol files, (PDB-Signatures of pdb and module differ).
If symbols for certain modules are missing altogether in these packages, MS may not have the intention to publish them for reason of intellectual property. (Personal opinion).
In any case, to my knowledge, the team in charge of public-symbols - at least for system modules (hmm, wmp is media player ...) - can be contacted via
windbgfb [at] microsoft [dot] com

Edit: wording
Just see, for Vista symbols for wmp.dll are available through public-symbol-server, though
call themselves wmp_notestroot.pdb

Gdb and libc debug symbols

hi, im trying to make gdb use debugging symbols for libc, but to no avail. I am running a standard 64-bit arch install, fully updated.
gdb is 7.9, gcc is 4.9.2, glibc is 2.21
file shows
/usr/lib/libc-2.21.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /usr/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=879c9c4ffc5aabfd0a9c9d1b1c73d5f1df969aac, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, not stripped
readelf --syms reads a million lines of symbols, however readelf --debug-dump=info on libc gives no output (nor any errors).
gdb says
Reading symbols from /usr/lib/libc.so.6...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
on verbose after run, and
574d0 0x00007ffff7b83ee4 Yes (*) /usr/lib/libc.so.6
(*): Shared library is missing debugging information.
on info shared.
i have built glibc from the abs with the debug option added, that built 2 packages, glibc and glibc-debug. i have installed the debug one with pacman, the files went into /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib.
i have set debug-file-directory to /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib, that didnt help either. i have manually tried to load the symbols from the debug file with symbol-file, no dice.
help would be much appreciated, doing this on debian systems is a piece of cake (just install the debug package for the library et voila), i must be doing something wrong. thank you

options=('debug' 'staticlibs')
these are the options i have set in the PKGBUILD, i might try giving CFLAGS directly, but compiling libc on this old dualcore takes quite a bit of time unfortunately

Debug symbols

Where can I get the latest debug symbols for 1.50.10 so that I can see the callstack in Visual Studio when there is a debug break that involves jvm.dll.

I am also looking for jvm.pdb for JRE 1.5.0_06. I am not able to find info on how to get this file or generate one. Appreciate if you have found any ways to get hold of this file.
Thanks

Debugging symbols

Hello everyone.
Where can I find debugging symbols, for example for public.dll, which is loaded by InDesign.exe ?
I found that CS3 SDK contains sources for large amount of classes in (SDK)\source, but I CAN'T perform StepInto, while debugging in VS2005. In CallStack window i can see some dlls, but I can't watch the call stack tree items contents, except for my plug-in.
And, for example, I want to see how CmdUtils are executed, but all I can see is header file for it.
Adding (SDK)\source dir to "Tools->Options->Project and Solutions->VC++ Directories->Source Files" also doesnt help, because I cant find any *.pdb neither in SDK dir, nor CS3 InDesign Debug installation directory.

Ernesto,
SDK does not ship symbol, what you see in debugger is consistent with what other see when you develop with the SDK.
Regards,
Lee

Support for debugging symbols

Hi,

This error is still occurring for the latest HP-UX JDK 1.5.0_05. I created a simple servlet that performed the following functions:
1) Write output to PrintWriter from HttpServletResponse
2) Overrirde the init() method for the servlet
3) Set a System Property
4) Open a client socket to a DMI Listener Port
It appears that items 1-3 completed properly, but the server crashed when opening a client socket from within a servlet container. This is now a highly visible issue that is preventing some of my company's customers from utilizing SunOne as a web server platform for our web interface. I am going to open a support issue with Sun support and see where things go from there. If anyone has any updated information, please post soon. Thanks,

Trying, failing to build qt5 with debugging symbols

As per this article, I modified my PKGBUILD like so (-developer-build):
build() {
cd ${_pkgfqn}
export QTDIR="${srcdir}"/${_pkgfqn}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${QTDIR}"/qtbase/lib:"${QTDIR}"/qttools/lib:"${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH="${QTDIR}"/qtbase/plugins
export PATH="${srcdir}/python2-path:$PATH"
[[ "${CARCH}" = "i686" ]] && SSE2="-no-sse2"
PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 ./configure -confirm-license -opensource -developer-build \
Don't know if I put the option in the wrong place, though, or if that information is outdated for qt5 - but it's not building for me. Here's where makepkg stops:

Not sure what happened. How do I get more information?
I need qt5-base with debugging symbols so I can get helpful traces for plasma-desktop crashes. So I should also ask: is it possible to modify the PKGBUILD to just compile qt5-base (and perhaps qt5-webkit and qt5-webengine)? qt5 is huge...
EDIT: and yes I had qtwebkit uninstalled at the time

I hate it when the only result for a problem is an unanswered question...
Anyway, invoking make manually uncovers what is the problem - there's a bunch of errors similar to this:
../gui/text/qfontengine_ft.cpp:1146:39: error: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Werror=sign-compare]
for (int x = 0; x < slot->bitmap.width; x++) {
^
cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors
So the -Werror is the culprit. Looking at the ./configure -help output it turns out that the -developer-build enables -Werror. But there's -no-warnings-are-errors. So yeah, passing -no-warnings-are-errors in addition to -developer-build should fix the compilation.
I have updated the wiki accordingly.
EDIT: the compilation gets a bit further, but it now fails because of tests.
EDIT2: it pays off to read configure rather than rely on some random suggestion from the wiki. There's a "-debug" option, which should just enable debugging. It hasn't finished compiling here yet, but it got a lot further than before.

Cannot compile code with debug symbols

I have a source code file that will not compile with debug symbols. I get an assertion failed in file ../src/regman/regman_local.cc at line 5224. The compile command and output are below.
/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -g -xarch=v9b -xopenmp=noopt -xc99=all -c -o output/spirecon.o spirecon.c
cg: assertion failed in file ../src/regman/regman_local.cc at line 5224
cg: Out of range
cg: 1 errors
cc: cg failed for spirecon.c
However without the debug options and using the default -fast switch, i.e.
/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -fast -xarch=v9b -xopenmp=noopt -xc99=all -c -o output/spirecon.o spirecon.c
it compiles without any problems.
I was hoping someone might have a suggestion as to how what might cause this type of error.

I have been told this is bugid: 4420630
It only happens when you try to use the optimizing
backend code generator without any optimization.

If you add an -xO1 flag the assertion should go away, but you
will also lose some (but not all) of your debuggability.

Makepkg hangs at "Stripping debugging symbols from binaries [...]"

Hi,
I made a PKGBUILD for the io (programming language) virtual machine but makepkg hangs at:
==> Tidying install...
-> Removing info/doc files...
-> Compressing man pages...
-> Stripping debugging symbols from binaries and libraries...
The PKGBUILD:
# Contributor:
pkgname=io
pkgver=2008.03.30
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Virtual machine for Io, a small, prototype-based programming language"
url="http://www.iolanguage.com/"
arch=(i686)
license=()
depends=()
makedepends=()
options=()
conflicts=()
source=(http://github.com/tarballs/stevedekorte-io-4debb4b25740b8dd46ad16f43f04f0fc5b4a23e1.tar.gz)
md5sums=('')
build() {
mv $startdir/src/stevedekorte-io-4debb4b25740b8dd46ad16f43f04f0fc5b4a23e1 $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
make vm || return 1
make INSTALL_PREFIX=${startdir}/pkg/usr install
rm -rf ${startdir}/src/io-2008.03.30/_build
has anyone a hint where to start searching for a solution? Or can anyone explain to me what "Stripping debugging symbols from binaries and libraries ..." in this context means?
Thanks,

Ok,
First of all thanks to shining.
I found the reason. The responsible piece of code:
for file in $(find {,usr/{,local/},opt/*/}{bin,lib,sbin} -type f 2> /dev/null || true); do
case "$(file -biz "$file")" in
*application/x-sharedlib*) # Libraries
/usr/bin/strip --strip-debug "$file";;
*application/x-executable*) # Binaries
/usr/bin/strip "$file";;
esac
done
As some filenames contain spaces they are split in the wrong way so the "filename storage" contains wrong file names. As several files contain " - " the script tries to read from stdin which causes the hang (I suppose). I'll file a bug report.

No Debug Symbols for Xboard?
