Re: Getting debugging info from glibmm and gtkmm sources

Hello everyone. This is my first post to this list and I just want to
ask a question I think someone here will be able to answer: I'm
contributing to wrapping gstreamer for C++ and I find that I may need
to debug the library. The library is wrapped using a tool called
glibmmproc which has also been used to produce glibmm and gtkmm. I
noticed that there are debugging libraries for both glibmm and gtkmm
(libglibmm-2.4-dbg and gtkmm-2.4-dbg). Would someone here be able to
tell me how these packages are generated from the sources (or give me
some idea)? I think I may be able to use the same method to generate
debugging info for gstreamermm. I'd appreciate any help. If no one
knows, that's fine. Thanks.

I'm sorry; I was using checknstall which automatically strips libraries
and executables before creating and installing a package out of a "make
install" command so the debugging info was being removed. This is why I
couldn't debug the library. I found how to disable the stripping and I
can now debug the gstreamermm library. Sorry.
