Hello:
I'd like to build clinfo w/ "-g" option to do some debugging with GDB...
I am looking at:
meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-support/opencl/clinfo_2.2.18.04.06.bb
I created a "bbapend" file to modify the build recipes "Makefile.am" file prior to
build, to introduce '-g' for CFLAGS & CPPFLAGS, i.e. at top of Makefile.am added:
AM_CFLAGS - -g
AM_CPPFLAGS = -g
I checked the build tree and see my modified "Makefile.am" updated as expected,
the update occurs at the end of the install process, using do_install_append... so the
build should have used my modified file... but I do not have symbols for the clinfo
package when I go to use GDB.
The install task runs after the software has been built. It is therefore
expected your changes aren't actually taken into account.
c.f. https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/tasks.html#do-install, I
guess it is not THAT obvious that it happens after compilation. Maybe a
patch to the documentation would help clear things out.
You shouldn't need to modify the makefile and just add "-g" to
TARGET_CFLAGS/ TARGET_CXXFLAGS or CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS in your recipe.
Also, I have never used it but we do have support for debuginfod which
should make it easier to debug remotely without installing the binary
with debug symbols, c.f.

Cheers,
Quentin
