Hi,

I'm hoping to hack up modest a little (see explanation below). But right now I just want to see how camel_folder_get_message is being called. I wanted to use gdb and see a backtrace, but of course the live binary is stripped.

So I compiled and installed the dbg versions of modest and tinymail, and they're in /usr/lib/debug/usr/[bin|lib]/. But how do I run them? Various attempts all produce various kinds of core dumps:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/modest -s
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > run-standalone.sh /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/modest
/usr/bin/run-standalone.sh: line 11: 14199 Illegal instruction (core dumped) "$@"

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~/modest/modest/modest-3.1.18+0m5/src] > run-standalone.sh ./modest /usr/bin/run-standalone.sh: line 11: 14182 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$@"

I can run the normal binary fine, using either "/usr/bin/modest -s" or "run-standalone.sh /usr/bin/modest -s".

As for what I'm trying to achieve...

I want to synchronise folders for offline reading. Looking at camel and tinymail, there's heaps of functionality built-in for this, and I'm hoping that it just needs to be switched on. Failing that, I could write a function that loops over every message in the folder calling <something>_get_message to ensure that the message is cached locally. I thought I could add a d-bus call to invoke that so I can do my own hacky sync from the command line when I want to.

If anyone has a patch or something floating around to make this Just Work, I'd be happy to prematurely abandon my fooling around with gdb...
