Which Debugging-enabled packages for KDE4.4?

cool · 2010-02-11 13:07:10

Hi,
The backtraces/Kcrash reports generated on my machine lack debugging symbols. this is the reason the bug reports submitted by me are useless in 95% cases:(

#26 0x00007fabc3c4484b in ?? () from /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4

This page explain how to install debug enabled packages for other distros like OpenSuse et but no mention about Arch.

I want to report bugs to KDE upstream and help making it better and more stable.

I recommend kdemod for developers. But im bias.

I am looking for vanilla KDE packages without patches, so I kdemod does not fit.

do any such packages exists?

No. Rebuild using ABS and adding options=(!strip) to the PKGBUILD.

Allan, are we gonna see support for -debug packages in the (near ? ) future using makepkg's split support ?

I've been having trouble with Rekonq crashing. I thought I'd contribute by trying to get a meaningful trace out of it. I'm getting

#2  0xb4589d04 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libQtWebKit.so.4

on the trace. pacman -Qo told me it was qt, that was missing the symbols. So I recompiled qt from abs with

options=('!libtool !strip')

and

build() {
        export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -ggdb -O1"
        export CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -ggdb -O1"
        ...

After installing the compiled package, I fired up Rekonq to replicate the problem (I even restarted to make sure the new qt was in use). Still no useful traces. What am I doing wrong? The whole pkgbuild I used is here.

Bump.

I'm still getting no trace from libQtWebKit.so.

Google's provided me with no help. Do I need to (for some obscure reason) recompile kde too, or what might be the problem?

I've been having problems with every webkit browser but Chromium. I made some test and the problems went away after deinstalling openjdk6 (which is not the right solution :S).

Viski · 2010-05-31 07:05:38

I know there's problems with the browsers. But that's not the problem here.

I just want to know what packages (and with which switches) I need to recompile to get a meaningful trace from libQtWebKit. It shouldn't be that hard, since I know it belongs to the qt package. Why doesn't recompiling qt (and rekonq) solve this?

According to Allan,
rebuilding pkg with !strip option should work, wonder what's missing?

Arch Linux
