Hi all, I'm looking to start running gnome 2.5 on a spare machine of
mine. I'm not a programmer but I understand the importance of debugging
symbols when trying to determine the cause of a crash. I'd like to
compile the gnome components with debugging symbols in case they are
needed for whatever I run into. I did some googling and saw that "-g"
in /etc/make.conf file will cause debugging symbols to be added. I also
read that debugging symbols are automatically stripped when a program is
installed from ports. How do I keep debugging symbols in the gnome
components then? I see in bsd.port.mk it says that by setting ${STRIP}
to an empty string will cause debugging symbols to not be stripped. Do
I just need to do this?:
STRIP = ""
Thanks.
Tom
