Makefile need debug option

[Joseph]

Hi gurus,

Can someone quickly remind me how I can add a -g (to generate the
debug table inside the core file) so I can run it against GDB and find
out whats happening. I tried to put it in the right after the $(CC)
as in $(CC) -g .... But it didn't work. The core file shows no
stack in GDB
By the way, I am compiling on a Linux box. This is a makefile from a
piece of code that i need to maintain. TIA

This isn't a C question. comp.unix.progr ammer is probably your best
bet, or possibly one of the Linux groups.

IOW:

Off topic. Not portable. Cant discuss it here. Blah, blah, blah.

Try setting CFLAGS to -g in your makefile.

That should work.

>The core file shows no stack in GDB

Do you really mean it shows no stack? Or just that it doesn't show
the names of functions on the stack? If there's no stack, it probably
means that the bug has completely screwed up the stack pointer.

Try:
CFLAGS = $(CDEBUGFLAGS)
CDEBUGFLAGS = -g

I think, you have not linked the CFLAGS with CDEBUGFLAGS. Did you
cross-check that .
Else, try directly the CFLAGS = -g in the makefile.

The -g option should make it work .
