Re: [proaudio] ardour-2.9999 debug build problems ...

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:

1. the debug USE flag sets a variable ARDOUR_DEBUG, while the scons build system of Ardour 2.x is looking for DEBUG
2. 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
