[Solved] Recompile Software with debugging symbols?

Has anyone an idea how to compile darktable with debugging symbols? I've grabbed the sources from the arch package and added the strings
export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -O0 -fbuiltin -g"
export CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -O0 -fbuiltin -g"
to the PKGBUILD as the arch wiki described in the "Step by step debugging guide", but it don't seems to work proberly. I can't obtain a proper backtrace.
"gdb darktable" only gives me the message:
Reading symbols from /usr/bin/darktable...(no debugging symbols found)
What's my fault?

Sorry, that was really stupid. Thanks for the hints, I was able to compile now. But the next problem is knocking on the door: when I try to get a backtrace, I get a "No stack."-message from gdb. Google wasn't helpful with this and those are my first steps in debugging. Maybe some has an Idea? I only need a full backtrace for an upstream bugreport.
Edit: got it. There was a gdb Zombie in the background.
Solved!

[solved]How to compile a software with debug symbol from aur?

How does auch developers compile their project? Seems that archlinux user always trying to avoid build software from git/svn directly. But after searching a lot I sill haven't found how to compile with debug symbol while using PKGBUILD.
Anyone help?

Isn't PKGBUILD just a script? It calls what you make it calls by adding commands...

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Don't know if I put the option in the wrong place, though, or if that information is outdated for qt5 - but it's not building for me.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:
ln -s libQt5Widgets.so.5.4.0 libQt5Widgets.so
ln -s libQt5Widgets.so.5.4.0 libQt5Widgets.so.5
ln -s libQt5Widgets.so.5.4.0 libQt5Widgets.so.5.4

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.
(That's what -xopenmp=noopt does)
If you add an -xO1 flag the assertion should go away, but you
will also lose some (but not all) of your debuggability.

[Solved]Compiling audit with staticlibs options

Hi everyone, I wanted e4rat to boost my boot time on my laptop, but recent updates requires me to recompile audit with static libs:
Index» Newbie Corner» [Solved] e4rat-preload cannot work
I made a copy of the audit PKGBUILD from the repositories and altered the options as indicated
depends=(krb5 libcap-ng)
makedepends=(libldap swig linux-headers python2)
license=(GPL)
options=(emptydirs staticlibs)
but when I run makepkg, the compile message tells me that:
libtool: link: ranlib .libs/libauparse.a
/usr/bin/sed: can't read Packages/audit/src/audit-2.3.2/lib/libaudit.la: No such file or directory

Makefile:895: recipe for target 'libauparse.la' failed

but when I nagivate to the audit-2.3.2/lib/ directory, libaudit.la exists there. Am I missing out on something?

Support for debugging symbols

Hi,
I'm using Kde but kwin crashes very often. I have submitted the bug to bugs.kde (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150130) but I cannot manage to install debug symbols.
I have read the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Deb … ing_Traces), and after recompiling glibc all is the same.
This is the trace:

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,

Difference between VS2013 and GCC debug symbols

Hi guys,
I am writing you today as I am having trouble with my software. it has a Windows and a Linux version, each of them respectively using a static library (C++).
I notice that, if I build my Windows static library as RELEASE without any debug info : /O2, and Debug Information Format -> None and manually removed.pdb, the .lib file size about 40mb.
On the contrary, regarding the Linux library, I use GCC in order to build it as RELEASE as well: -O2 and -g0.
Once compiled, my .a file's size is about 12mb.
Well, those compilers are completely different, and the library's size doesn't really matter.
Of course, my application, which needs the library, has debug symbols generated (whether I am on Windows or Linux).
While debugging, I can have access to all of the members/classes of my application (and also the ones from my Windows library), using Microsoft Visual Studio 2013.
And now, while debugging with the Linux lib (within Eclipse), I have access to my class members, except the one from the library.
I was wondering what's happening in the background:
_ Why does it seem like the Windows version of my library contains more symbols/data, which allows me to debug my program using the library ?
_ Why can't I debug the objects from my Linux library ? (this one is about four times smaller than the Window's one)
If I try to access to some classes from my library, Eclipse/GDB says <incomplete type> in the Debug view.
I am lost on this point. Does anyone know about that ?
Thank you very much for your help !

Hi ddocteur,
Appreciate your patience and sharing detailed information.
It does need to cost some time to to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. Your detailed information will be quite helpful, and there might be some time delay.
Thanks for your sharing and understanding.

How to reset the BIOS to solve a problem with DVD burner on Satellite P100

Hi
I am trying to reset my cmos to solve a problem with my dvd burner.
I was trying to run an old game that I own that was protected by starforce and ran starforce nightmare with has made the device completly inoperable.
After much searching I have heard to reset cmos.
I have treid through debug and nothing happend. I don't really want to open up the laptop and pull the cmos battery out or leave it for a month until the cmos battery runs out.
Is there any advice on what I should do.

Hi
What you want to do is simply not possible you said that you had some problems with PCs and you fixed it.
That's great. But a PC is simply different and cannot be compared with the notebook
> I was trying to run an old game that I own that was protected by starforce and ran starforce nightmare with has made the device completely inoperable.
According to your statement above you CD/DVD drive issue could be related to the installed starforce nightmare. I dont know this but I presume this software/application has changed or destroyed the CD/DVD drives firmware.
Sorry but I see only one way to get it working again You have to contact the ASP in your country. Maybe a technician would be able to rescue the drive
PS: your Satellite P100 PSPA6A series seems to be a Australian series therefore you should use the Toshiba Australian page if you need some drivers or BIOS

Hi bluebanana 66,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a few reasons why you might receive this message after installing iTunes. You may need to verify that iTunes has been completely removed before trying to install again. See this article for the steps to completely remove and reinstall iTunes:

[solved] findutils - problem with file permissions

Hey,
I tried running makepkg -c for an updated PKGBUILD of a package I maintain in the AUR (gretl), and it seemed fine but then hit:
==> Tidying install...
-> Purging other files...
-> Compressing man and info pages...
-> Stripping debugging symbols from binaries and libraries...
-> Removing libtool .la files...
-> Removing empty directories...
find: invalid predicate `-delete'
I'd had some other strange errors with find over the past few weeks or so (my last -Syu was after this month's catalyst driver came out with support for the current kernel) but had shrugged them off. This error made me decide to try reinstalling findutils, and it gave the error:
error: cannot remove file 'usr/bin/find': Operation not permitted
a bit stupidly, I tried pacman -Rd then -S findutils, and now I get
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
findutils: /usr/bin/find exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
missing dependency for ca-certificates : findutils
missing dependency for initscripts : findutils
missing dependency for mkinitcpio : findutils
missing dependency for texinfo : findutils
ls -als /usr/bin | grep find gives:
12 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10636 Mar 25 16:24 deepfind
64 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 59200 May 9 01:58 efinder
64 -rwxr-xr-x 1 500 500 59536 Jun 16 14:49 find
and rm, mv, chmod, chown etc on /usr/bin/find as root, and from livecd, all also come back with "Operation not permitted".
find seems to work fine for a few simple uses I've just tried.. but the last time I ran makepkg -c without the error was before the last system upgrade, so I'm guessing find didn't upgrade properly then due to whatever is wrong with the permissions, leading to the other errors.
Anyway, I guess the question is, can I do anything to get rid of /usr/bin/find and reinstall findutils? don't mind so much about missing dependencies as I tend not to upgrade that often, but find not doing what it should is a bit of a pain.

mm I tried all that, and no luck. though trying adduser 500 did give me a helpful reminder that usernames can't start with numbers...
anyway, it's not a huge deal atm, and I can always clean reinstall the / partition if things really break. Thanks all the same.
PS:
huh, just had a thought - I remember how I used to get annoyed how mounting partitions using ext2ifs in windows didn't respect permissions properly. and now I almost wish I had a windows partition / that this wasn't a laptop hard drive...

Iphone stuck with apple symbol and wont start up

i updated my iphone and when it finished and went to reboot it just stays stuck on the apple symbol it constantly reboots and will never connect to my laptop i dont know what to do if anyone can help please do

Hi,
Luca224 & Ingo2711. Thanks for bringing this topic. on 29th Nov. I faced the same problem on my iPhone 3GS 32GB Firmware 3.1.2, iPhone stuck with apple symbol and wont start up. I have tried with 10 Seconds Sleep/wake-up button + home button to reset. But didn't work. Did google about an hour with many blogs. Finally I made a call to 3 iPhone care and spent 30 minutes and explained whatever I have done; iPhone customer care asked me to go to nearby iPhone service center in Sydney. BUT BY LUCK CLICKED ON iTUNE AND GOT THE OPTION FOR ONLINE FORUM FOR APPLE iPHONE. Many many thanks to Ingo2711 who has given the solution link and also thanks to Luca224 , who raised the issue. I feel, this is a common problem with iPhones those who using iPhone 3GS 3.1.2...... but try the link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and thanks to Luca224 & Ingo2711. PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION CAREFULY:
1. Verify you have iTunes 7.5 or later. Apple recommends using the latest version of iTunes.
2. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
3. Power off the device (Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPhone or iPod touch to turn off. _+(in my case - red slider didn't appear, but i pressed the Sleep/Wake button until the iPhone went off, finally it was just off... i was frustrated... tried 3 times with more patience )+_
4. Press and hold the Home button while reconnecting the USB cable to iPhone. When you reconnect the USB to iPhone, the device should then power on. +_( Do exactly as it says)_+
Note: If you see the message "Charging... Please Wait" or you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least 10 minutes to ensure the battery has some charge and then start with step 2 again. +_(True ... for me it happened 3 times)_+
5. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. +_( I was nearly frustrated at my 3rd attempet; my thumb was hurting as I was holding the home button for few minutes..... but finally it worked yahooooooooooooooooo...... suddenly changed my decision.... about going to 3/Apple service center)_+
6. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message:
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, then disconnect the USB cable from iPhone and repeat steps 3-6.
Because you must restore iPhone or iPod touch, iTunes will not recover data from the device, but if it was previously synced on the same computer and the same user account, it should restore a backup (if available). See document HT1414, "Updating and Restoring iPhone Software."
If you are still unable to restore the iPhone using this method, check Apple support for further troubleshooting and/or service options.
Note: If you sync both an iPhone and an iPod touch to the same computer, make sure you select the correct backup to restore your settings from (don't select an iPhone backup if you have an iPod touch and don't select an iPod touch backup if you have an iPhone).
**** ( BACKUP FROM YOUR iTUNES : MAC/PC; AS I GOT MY 95% DATA FROM THERE.... GOOD LUCK)******* IF IT WORKS PLEASE POST YOUR EXPERIENCE....*
THANKS

Compiling with debug info

Hi!
I get a question about PL/SQl, How can I compile a Block PL/SQL with debug information, in SQL*Plus?
Thanks in Advance

From the symptoms you describe, it is possible that the shared library contains a bug, but it is more likely that the problem is in your code, passing bad data to the shared library.
The problem might be a compiler bug, but I think an error in your code is more likely.
For example, your code as written might have undefined behavior that works by accident when compiling without optimizing, but fails when the compiler improves the runtime code.
Some examples:
1. A classic MT programming error is failing to declare a variable volatile when it is shared by more than one thread. In each thread, the compiler assumes it can remember the value of the variable and not reload it between references.
2. "x = ++x + b;" Modifying a variable twice in an expression withtout sequence points has undefined behavior -- compiler optimization can affect the result.
3." foo(x, x+=3);" the order of evaluation of function arguments is unspecified, so the actual values passed to foo could depend on optimization.
With C++ 5.5, you get some warnings from system headers that you can't do anything about, which I suspect is why you have disabled some warnings. Unfortunately, you might be disabling warnings that you need to see. That is, some of the disabled warnings could point to invalid code that results in the program crash.
I suggest using w instead of w2 (to avoid uninteresting warnings), and fix your code to eliminate the warnings you get.
In the current compiler, C++ 5.7 in Sun Studio 10, we have made some adjustments to warnings to make w and w2 more useful. You should consider upgrading.You can get a 60-day free trial version here:

HT201210 I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with prompt to restore, phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and can't use.

I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with repeated prompts to restore phone. Now phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and USB cord can't use. It appears the phone has been restored, but I cannot activate it.
I disabled my anti-software, iTunes and computer software (microsoft vista) are both up to date, I restarted the computer several times. My usb ports are working properly. I followed the troubleshooting suggestions from apple.

yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries
