I have tried to launch DDD via libtool. It didn't display any source code to me (not even when I explicitly loaded that source file), and said that it didn't contain any code about every object file it touched. I am clueless to why this is so. Actually I do not want to discuss why DDD would be pathetic or crap, nor why this wouldn't be the fault of Wireshark's setup. What I know is that I am having another open source project on Linux that is built via automake generated make files, and which I can debug just fine with DDD. I don't want to conduct fruitless discussions about whether the Wireshark setup is any good or not either. All I wish to be is to be able to debug it using DDD.

If the GNU project GDB and the GNU project libtool can't work together, that's something for the GNU project to fix; if DDD can't handle libtool-based projects, that's something for DDD to fix.And if it can't handle libtool-based projects, that would be *really* pathetic: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ddd/ANNOUNCE "DDD Makefiles use libtool for generic shared library support." To run a debugger on an executable built using libtool, you definitely *do* need to run it with "./libtool --mode=execute {debugger} {args}", but if ./libtool --mode=execute ddd wireshark doesn't allow DDD to find Wireshark's source files, but ./libtool --mode=execute gdb wireshark *does* allow GDB to find Wireshark's source files, that's a DDD bug. (I couldn't even get Wireshark or TShark to *start* on Ubuntu 9.10 when I tried running under GDB - it failed to find the symbol wsp_vals_pdu_type_ext symbol when I ran "./libtool --mode=execute gdb {wireshark,tshark}", but it *did* find it when I just ran "./wireshark" or "./tshark" - so I wasn't able to test it with GDB or DDD; libtool strikes again....) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
