Hello, everybody! I have a rather general question on debugging. I'm experiencing some problems with some programs on FreeBSD 5.0. Because I'm quite a unix newbie, I can only write to some mailinglists to ask if somebody knows what to do. But I would like to take a few steps to solve my problems on my own. I read something about gdb and kernel debugging, but find that somehow disturbing. So I would like to ask a very *stupid* newbie question: I can run a program within gdb, but I don't see the program's source code. I assume this is meant with debug symbols? How can I compile a program with those debug symbols? Any help appreciated!
