Title: Creating a backtrace
Post by: Gadsden on November 17, 2004, 04:50:05 AM

Sorry - I'm a novice.

I'm using Mac OS10.3, wxmac 2.5.3 & 2.0.0rc7.

Amule hangs as soon as I load it up so I'm trying to create a backtrace as described in the FAQ. The instruction I'm having problems with at the moment is:

"Now create in your home directory the file .gdbinit and put these lines into it:

ha SIGPIPE nostop noprint pass
ha SIG32 nostop noprint pass
"

I am new to terminal (I'm new to it all, only used Fink for the first time yesterday) and don't know how to create a file in it. I can create a file in a text editor but can't give it a name that starts with a period as in ".gdbinit" I expect you're cringing as you read this but I'd be really grateful for some help.

Thanks, Nick

I was given this advice:

Quote

$ cd
$ pico .gdbinit
ha SIGPIPE nostop noprint pass
ha SIG32 nostop noprint pass
^X y

alternative:
$ gdb ./amule
(gdb) ha SIGPIPE nostop noprint pass
(gdb) ha SIG32 nostop noprint pass
(gdb) run

apple editors don't allow saving "hidden" files apparently.

I hope it will help you out.

(Thanks to Madcat_ for the advice)
