ahoy Mark,
thanks and good call, that is exactly where i found it. before i had found a few references to configure switches, but it looks like on Gentoo one needs to add FEATURES="nostrip" to preserve debugging symbols. so apparently that should be added when the debug USE flag is set. i will try to hack the ebuild and see if i can figure out how to do it.
for posterity, here is the link with the info:

peace, w

Wayne,
Stripping debug stuff is typical Gentoo. Search the Gentoo..org docs for info on how to keep debugging symbols in the final output.
I looked at it years ago but haven't ever actually done it myself.
HTH,
Mark

ahoy all,
when trying to build ardour-2.9999 from the Pro-Audio overlay with debugging enabled, unfortunately the debug USE flag has no effect. i have confirmed this numerous times.
there seem to be 2 problems with the ebuild:
- the debug USE flag sets a variable ARDOUR_DEBUG, while the scons build system of Ardour 2.x is looking for DEBUG
- even after manually fixing the above problem, at the end of the build process, before installation, a "strip" command runs, which i believe is removing all the debugging symbols from the compiled code regardless of whether the debug USE flag is set. unfortunately, i do not see where this stripping is set/unset in the ebuild. can anyone shed some light on this?
peace, w
