Yes, that would be a good idea. In fact, with gcc, AFAIK you should ALWAYS compile EVERYTHING with -g. For some bizarre reason the Tcl (and therefore also AOLserver) build process obnoxiously defaults to "-O2 rather than "-g -O2". I build Tcl from source like so: Dwnload the latest stable Tcl release (currently 8.4.11): http://tcl.sourceforge.net/ Then untar it into /tmp/tcl/ and build it like so: $ umask 002 $ cd /tmp/tcl/unix $ ./configure --enable-threads --enable-symbols --enable-gcc --enable-shared # Edit Makefile now - see below. $ make $ make test # Files with failing tests: http.test httpold.test $ sudo make install $ sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/tclsh8.4 $ sudo chmod 644 /usr/local/lib/libtclstub*.a Edit the Makefile: Just like AOLserver 4, Tcl's configure script is dumb and turns off all optimization when it turns on -g. To fix that, simply manually Makefile changing both plain "-g" and "-O" to "-g -O", like so: CFLAGS_DEBUG = -g -O CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE = -g -O On some systems the Tcl configure script picks -O, on others it picks -O2. I just use whatever level of optimization it decided on, but turn on both debugging and optimization in both flavors of CFLAGS. -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com/ -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
