Message: 49497 Hi,
I am using 2007R1 toolchain and distribution on a custom bf533 board.
I have taken the build script and patch from user/blkfn-apps directory and
are able to compile and run the mplayer successfully.
But, i am unable to debug even after adding the -g switch. When i use
bfin-linux-uclibc-gdb mplayer
it says (no debugging symbols found)
Has anyone tried to debug mplayer using gdb?
Thanks for your time
KAVS

Message: 49516 the default build of mplayer will not build with -g, add a ton of optimizations, and will most likely strip things, so you'll need to change those build settings

Message: 49520 Hi Mike,
Thanks for the pointers. As i mentioned i have already added -g
but, i have not removed optimization. I commented the LDFLAGS = -s
(strip all symbols) and immediately i was able to debug using gdb .
I feel this small info can be added in bfin - gdb docs wiki.
Thanks again,
KAVS
