Yesterday, I updated the install script at
http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/build/install-build-deps.sh
Please let me know, if you encounter any problems and I'll fix them.
It now installs not only the libraries necessary to build Chromium, it
also installs the debugging symbols for these libraries. This will
give you correct line number information when tracing through system
libraries (e.g. GTK or SSL). In some cases, this will also give you
correct stack traces where you weren't able to get these earlier.
You can even see the source code for the system libraries in GDB. Just
use "apt-get source" to download the sources to anywhere on your
system, and then point GDB to it using the "dir" command. You can put
this command into your "~/.gdbinit" file. So, you don't have to do
that each time you start GDB.
As before, the script only works on Ubuntu. It probably works on any
Debian based system, but that is untested.
Please note that Ubuntu does not by default ship 32bit versions of all
the system libraries, if you are running a 64bit operating system. The
script knows about this and downloads the Debian packages for the
32bit distribution and then repackages the library files on the fly.
This temporarily requires downloading a lot of data. You might not
want to do this, if you are on a slow Internet connection. The script
prompts you and you can opt out.
