Re: Building a single program for debugging
Ross Boylan wrote (in a message from Thursday 1) I'm interested in building xterm for debugging on a system that already has a full install of XFree 4.2.1 (Debian GNU/Linux). I realize most of you are probably thinking about newer versions of XFree, but I'm hoping someone might have some useful advice on this list. Any tips about how to do a partial, debugging build? Or about xterm? I notice the comments saying the code is a mess; I'm really just interested in identifying the font it thinks its using and the font lookup and rendering system that it relies on--core, xft1, or xft2. (xterm gets me a font that is very s p a c e d o u t, while xterm -fn fixed works fine. I've been unable to duplicate the font I get with xterm alone using any specific -fn or -fa argument). There are some instructions on how to rebuild parts of the XFree86 source tree for debugging here: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/XF4/README?rev=1.12content-type=text/plain This was written for the XFree86 tree in OpenBSD, but most of it applies regardless of the operating system.
