I would like to make debug information for libraries we make. Of course, I can compile and link the libraries this way, and install them. But I see that for openSUSE libraries, a better method is used:
An RPM is made that contains the debug version of the library. This version of the library is not used when the application is run normally. This is used by gdb when running an application or examining a core file. There seems to be some intelligence to this so that gdp knows which version of the debug RPM is needed, and even suggests the command to get that version installed. These debug version of the librarys are perhaps installed in an alternate location from the regular use versions.
Is there a description for how this is accomplished on openSUSE? Of most interest is how to set it up so that the debug version of the library is available to gdb. I looked around on the openSUSE site, but could not find anything. I guess I do not know where best to look...
Yours sincerely,

Roger, That should be asked on opensuse-packaging, or maybe opensuse-buildservice.. Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
