debugging with gdb is out of the scope of this list. I suggest you look at the gdb documentation, and perhaps the gdb list and web page at http://sources.readhat.com/gdb/ > Did evolution's source tree was maintained by gnome org, did you > have some branch for your new milestone like mozilla1.o branch, did you > only have one cvs tree? At various times we have different branches. Currently there is only 1 (the trunk), but we will likely branch for 1.2 fairly soon. > How do you control your cvs tree, did you have tinderbox for > build evolution automatically? We have something to build the nightly packages, but generally developers manage their own trees to make sure things dont break. > Needing your anwser > Thank you > Antonio Xu > Jeffrey Stedfast wrote: > > >On Wed, 2002-09-25 at 04:11, Antonio Xu wrote: > > > > > >>Hello,all > >> I am a jackaroo in evolution, I have a lot of question must > >>asking you.
