Report a backtrace with the Debian package
« on: January 21, 2004, 03:27:44 PM »

The debian package is not compiled with debugging options. So, if you are running amule with the official debian package, gdb should not work and the backtrace will not be useful.


So, what can I do ?

I have un official repository, and I provide a package compiled with debugging options. This package is called amule-debug

How install it ?


First, add the following lines in you /etc/apt/sources.list :

Code: [Select]
deb [URL]http://gunnm.org/~soda/[/URL] unstable main contrib
deb-src [URL]http://gunnm.org/~soda/[/URL] unstable main contrib


- Then, run :
Code: [Select]
apt-get update
- remove the official amule package :
Code: [Select]
apt-get remove --purge amule

- Install the debug package :
Code: [Select]
apt-get install amule-debug

How to report backtrace ?

See the file
/usr/share/doc/amule-debug/README.Debian or the post in this forum.
