Sure, but to compile from source and create the exact same binary, I need the version of whatever was used to create the debian package (version of nasm, ld, gcc, ar, nm, ...). Is there a spec file with this info for each release? > Firefox add-ons don't have debug symbols...firefox is their debugger.

I tried debugging with firefox-3.0-dbgsym but the segfault occurs in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/mplayerplug-in-qt.so and the package doesn't provide symbols for this plugin. (Note: the problem I was trying to debug is fixed in Karmic already, cf https://bugs.launchpad.net/mandriva/+source/mplayer/+bug/360222, but I would still like to have a clear debugging story for the next bug) -- Pierre-Alexandre Meyer You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
