Thanks Jon. I tried that and in that case gdb launched kicad, but it couldn't find the source file to set a breakpoint. If someone can give me an example of setting the breakpoint that would be great. I tried relative path and full path, but still couldn't set the breakpoint in copper_zone_dialog.cpp.- Pradeepa Sent on the go with Vodafone -------- Original message --------From: Jon Evans <j...@craftyjon.com> Date: 7/7/21 11:28 pm (GMT+10:00) To: Pradeepa Senanayake <pradeepa....@gmail.com> Cc: KiCad Developers <kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net> Subject: Re: [Kicad-developers] Help needed to configure gdb gdb ./kicad/kicad is starting KiCad from the build directory.This isn't a fully-supported way of debugging KiCad, but if you want to do this, you must set the environment variableKICAD_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIR=1Alternatively, since you are running `make install` above, you can use gdb to debug KiCad at the installed location, rather than inside the build directory.This will probably be a more reliable mechanism.-JonOn Wed, Jul 7, 2021 at 9:24 AM Pradeepa Senanayake <pradeepa....@gmail.com> wrote:Hello All,Sorry for the long mail.I'm trying to debug one of my changes using gdb and I've run into a roadblock.This is what I did so far,>> Built KiCAD using following commandscmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/mingw64 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/mingw64 -DDEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH=/mingw64 -DOCC_INCLUDE_DIR=/mingw64/include/opencascade -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/mingw64/include/python3.8 ../../make -j 4 install>> Started gdb using the following command$: gdb ./kicad/kicad......Reading symbols from ./kicad/kicad.exe...(gdb) runStarting program: I:\msys64\home\Pradeepa\kicad-source\build\debug\kicad\kicad.exe[New Thread 16296.0x41b0][New Thread 16296.0x3e0c][New Thread 16296.0x2130]Python path configuration: PYTHONHOME = (not set) PYTHONPATH = (not set) program name = 'python3' isolated = 0 environment = 1 user site = 1 import site = 1 sys._base_executable = 'I:/msys64/home/Pradeepa/kicad-source/build/debug/kicad/kicad.exe' sys.base_prefix = 'D:/a/_temp/msys/msys64/mingw64' sys.base_exec_prefix = 'D:/a/_temp/msys/msys64/mingw64' sys.executable = 'I:/msys64/home/Pradeepa/kicad-source/build/debug/kicad/kicad.exe' sys.prefix = 'D:/a/_temp/msys/msys64/mingw64' sys.exec_prefix = 'D:/a/_temp/msys/msys64/mingw64' sys.path = [ 'D:/a/_temp/msys/msys64/mingw64/lib/python38.zip', 'D:/a/_temp/msys/msys64/mingw64/lib/python3.8', 'D:/a/_temp/msys/msys64/mingw64/lib/python3.8', 'D:/a/_temp/msys/msys64/mingw64/lib/lib-dynload', ]Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]Fatal Python error: init_fs_encoding: failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encodingPython runtime state: core initializedModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'Current thread 0x00003154 (most recent call first):<no Python frame>warning: Fatal Python error:warning: failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encodingwarning:[Thread 16296.0x3e0c exited with code 1][Thread 16296.0x2130 exited with code 1][Thread 16296.0x41b0 exited with code 1][Inferior 1 (process 16296) exited with code 01](gdb)I've set the PYTHONHOME to /mingw64Now I can launch KiCad in gdb.
