Debugging symbols in ports

2010-03-19 Thread Alejandro Imass
Hi,

Is there an elegant way to enable debugging symbols in ports in
general, or is this port-specific? I have read _many_ threads
regarding this but I can't seem to find a definitive position on this.
I would not like to resort to the original sources but work from the
ports themselves.

Thanks!
Alejandro Imass

Hi Alejandro,

Try this:

make WITH_DEBUG=yes install clean

WITH_DEBUG adds -g to the CFLAGS and prevents the binary from being
stripped during installation.

Hope that helps,
Greg
