Flags: ------ Please provide an example of CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS for users, possibly in the code listing of 'Re-emergeing a package with debugging'. FEATURES="nostrip" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -ggdb3" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -ggdb3" emerge package -ggdb3 is more useful that just plain -g (-g expands to -ggdb1 on most arches), as it includes #define stuff and some C++ things that can be very hard to decipher with just plain -g. Core dumps: ----------- Also, please point out the value of setting the core-dump ulimit to a reasonable size, and backtracing a core-dump instead of the application directly. This is esp. applicable for things like mod_php where you can't really run the binary directly under gdb. Just basically set the core-dump ulimit (either commandline or via the ulimit configurations), and then run the application, and afterwards do: gdb ./bad_core COREFILE Emerge errors: -------------- Some builds, esp. PHP include a message in the final emerge message (prefixed with !!) telling you to include a specific file (config.log most often) with your bug report. Please mention this, and remind users it is important! -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
