Unix objects/executables with -g contain the linenumbers and name of the sourcefile(s), but not the actual source, and if you debug on a different system where the sourcefiles are not present, or on the same system but the sourcefiles have been deleted (or changed!) it won't work. If the sourcefiles are present but in a different location, some debuggers can be persuaded to find them. However, for MS* there is another difference to know about: the debug info goes in a separate PDB file -- e.g. libeay32.dll and libeay32.pdb -- and to debug you need BOTH, PLUS the source. (* since about 2000; you might find some *really* old progams that don't have separate PDB, but good luck using them.) ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
