I'm trying to do a debug build of this: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fire … -opensuse/
(I want to get a backtrace of a crash)
Here is my modified mozconfig, which still does not get me debug symbols:
ac_add_options --enable-application=browser
ac_add_options --prefix=/usr
ac_add_options --enable-gold
ac_add_options --enable-rust

Looking at https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ … ux64/debug
You seem to be missing ac_add_options --enable-debug does ac_add_options --enable-debug-symbols="-gdwarf-2" automatically enable it?
Also https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … e-opensuse contains options=('!emptydirs' 'strip' ) did you switch it to options=('!emptydirs' '!strip' )?

Thanks for the reply!
The Configuring Build Options page from Mozilla says:
ac_add_options --enable-debug
Enables assertions in C++ and JavaScript, plus other debug-only code. This can significantly slow a build, but it is invaluable when writing patches. People developing patches (especially in C++) should generally use this option.
So it doesn't seem like it is relevant for the symbols.
I got the gdwarf thing from this page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc … ug_Symbols
I will try building with the options=('!emptydirs' '!strip' ) change now.

Holy guacamole! I knew it worked when I saw the size of the package (1GB) and indeed, debug symbols read correctly when doing coredumpctl gdb!!
I did do a fresh git clone to target FF 52, but I used the exact same mozconfig. The only change was your proposed options=('!emptydirs' '!strip' ) to the PKGBUILD.
Thanks a zillion. Now I can properly report about this crash (simply clicking "Open containing folder" in Downloads)!
