Hi
I'm trying to use GDB and KDEvelop to debug a console app under Knoppix VM. KDevelop and GDB don't break at my breakpoints. I suspect it's because they don't have debug symbols.
If I'm correct how do I need to change my Makefile to create those. Maybe the problem is somewhere else?
Regards, Ariel
Include -g in the flags sent to the compiler and linker. The default variables for this are CFLAGS and LDFLAGS respectively.
If you are able to see source and set the breakpoint, then you probably have debugging symbols established. However, the usual sequence is:
gcc -g -o (outputname) (source files...)
gdb outputname
Give more specifics about what you are doing and what messages you see and we can be more specific.
