I'm not sure whether this is the best list to post to, but it's my first guess. I'm using nasm to compile some code I wrote. The developer-handbook suggests I use "-f elf", so that's what I did. Then I linked it with ld. The program works as expected, but I can't debug it with gdb; it reports "no debugging symbols found". I've tried to get the possible debugging formats nasm can output, and I get "null" for both elf and aoutb ( ld can't even link aoutb .o files ). Is there a way I could debug my nasm-compiled assembler sources, preferably with gdb ? I don't mind any binary format that can run on FreeBSD, nor any other linker. Any suggestions are welcome. For completeness, here's the versions of the tools I used, and FreeBSD: FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE --- GNU ld version 2.13.2 [FreeBSD] 2002-11-27 Supported emulations: elf_i386_fbsd --- NASM version 0.98.35 compiled on Aug 13 2003 --- GNU gdb 5.2.1 (FreeBSD)
