Debugging applications built from Arch packages
What's the best method to debug an application buil from an arch package? Currently I build again with debug flags on, then start the application under ddd (or gdb inside emacs). That tends to do the job, but it's not a very nice way of working.
On the other hand there are some nice IDEs around (from geany to eclipse), but they require that you build the application as a project of the IDE and not from source using whatever method the application designer saw fit to use.
So I'm looking for suggestions. Are there nicer alternatives to ddd? Or are there IDEs where you can basically tell them "here's the source tree, complete with build scripts, go and make it into a project".
Good ideas do not need lots of lies told about them in order to gain public acceptance.
