Greetings all, I have a box that is dumping cores, and I would like to look into the matter further, but my output in gdb does not appear to contain symbols. I modified GENERIC so that it contains the following line: makeoptions DEBUG=-g I have also tried with and without the following two options: options DDB options DDB_UNATTENDED without success. I read in Absolute BSD, and the FreeBSD Developers Handbook that my makeoptions line should be all that is required. This code is from the 4-STABLE source at about 01:20 AEST, Sat Oct 25, 2003 (about 15:20, Fri Oct 24 2003 UTC [sorry if I'm an hour out - I don't know whether I subtract 10 hours or 11 hours for daylight savings/winter time] ). What other stages are there to get the relevant source to appear in gdb when i run 'where'? (I would like to help out by possibly patching what is occuring rather than just post the info when the machine dumped it's core). Could I request all replies be CC'ed to my hotmail account as well as the list as my normal POP3 client is in the process of a change in OS. -- Adam Carmichael carneeki@carneeki.net [upgrading my notebook from XP => BSD - won't be checking for a few hours] carneeki@hotmail.com [interim] _________________________________________________________________ Chat via SMS.
