BUILD_SMALL_DEBUG_FILES allows creating "small" files in debug mode on Windows (for instance _pcbnew.kiface size is 66 Mbytes instead of 1.2 Gbytes on my install) Under gdb, variable values are not available, but function names and line numbers are. On my 32 bit install, I am not able to run a full debug file: I am running out of memory most of time (well: kicad + _pcbnew.kiface + gdb + memory allocated for Windows can be more than 4Gbytes) I added this option because RelWithDebInfo option is useless for me: it still generates very large files (600 Mbytes). But be careful with Debug builds: in countries using a comma as fp separator, we always have a wxASSERT when reading a file containing a bitmap (i.e. .wks file) and when reading config files (i.e. running Eeschema or Pcbnew from Kicad). Currently I do not know how to fix this annoying issue. -- Jean-Pierre CHARRAS _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
