What a discovery! Seems like complete how to: http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Mozilla_Source_and_Symbol_Server Blog postings, bugs on b.m.o, other resources also worth of checking: http://crashopensource.wordpress.com/2007/09/20/starting-the-project-mozilla-source-and-symbol-server/ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385792 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408134 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419904 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424240 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424817 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=428518 http://web.archive.org/web/20071218162257/http://www.jorgon.freeserve.co.uk/Other/pdb.htm Best regards. P.S. It would be great if ESC could go the Mozilla's path of doing things in QA department. The knowledge base is on Mozilla's wiki. Software is... open sourced and available to download. You should get connected to make LO better. Definitely. ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

I just read in ESC minutes that daily builds with --enable-symbols are again available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/W2008R2@20-With-Symbol-Bytemark-Hosting/master Unfortunately .pdb files are not available there. Maybe tinderbox administrator could script creating an archives of pdb/source files and upload them just as msi installers? This would be great start... > The wikipage would be really helpful.

I managed to get WinDbg to work with my own LOdev build with symbols and source on Windows 7 using VS 2008 Express. !analyze -v output is not exactly as on sceencast. It lacks FAULTING_SOURCE_LINE and FAULTING_SOURCE_CODE sections, but when I hit Call stack I see links to the source and by clicking it by hand I see used code sections as on screencast. Yes, I will try to draft an wiki article in few days as a starter to be improved by LO experts, but I am not sure if my WinDbg output is any good. In between I have to practice and browse this list more, as I still have problems building LO 3.5.2.2 by myself (had to disable java, rebasing, postgres connector). Tried with 3.5.4.2 but it is even worse (some cairo canvas errors). Maybe tinderbox operators could share their settings with the community? I don't think that they know all the environment configuration by heart. If they do, then wiki articles can be written in minutes :).

Hello. I am Windows user interested in helping confirming UNCONFIRMED and other crash bug reports on b.f.o. Please set up the symbol server and even source server just as Mozilla did. This will help people without strong programming knowledge to just run the WinDbg, download the symbols/source, catch a crasher and fill complete bug reports for Windows platform with source excerpt included. And all that without setting up build environment to generate symbols and source access for WinDbg on their own. Links to Mozilla pages, where all this is well documented: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_with_WinDbg https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_the_Mozilla_symbol_server https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_the_Mozilla_source_server https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Debugging_a_minidump Currently there is only http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/How_to_debug article and screencast by Jesús Corrius on YouTube - sadly without step by step wiki article about it. Please consider. Always you can ask the friendly guys at Mozilla how to set this all up...
