theora dev - Oct 2007 - Is it possible to debug theora

hi all,

please can i know that, is it possible to make the theora with enabling the
debugging (use "gdb" to debug) . if it is possible please let me know.

Of course. "make debug" will build the libraries without optimisation
and with debugging.

If you want a fully optimised build with debug symbols, you'll need to
change some things in the Makefiles, I guess.

i got the problem. but it will lead to an another problem.

the executable file in in the "/libtheora-1.0alpha7/examples/.libs"
directory


so after cd to that directory it could initiate the debug
to specify the executable file "file lt-encoder_example"

but still i can not specify a break point.

when i randomly set a break point (break 10), it will gives the following
mesage.
No line 10 in file " init.c"


but still i was unable to find the init.c file




then i tried for setting a break point to the main
"break main"
then it is ok. ( Breakpoint 1 at 0x8049fd0 )

then start it with  "run -v 1 -a 0 ../stream.yuv > theora.ogv"

then tried for "next"

but it will leads to a problem that i can not understand

"
Single stepping until exit from function main,
which has no line number information.
0x080490c4 in getopt_long@plt ()
"

can you please anyone help me to solve this problem
