How to generate Debug symbols with Makefile for C? [Linux]
I'm trying to use GDB and KDEvelop to debug a console app under Knoppix VM. KDevelop and GDB don't break at my breakpoints. I suspect it's because they don't have debug symbols. If I'm correct how do I need to change my Makefile to create those. Maybe the problem is somewhere else? Regards, Ariel dmckee Include -g in the flags sent to the compiler and linker. The default variables for this are CFLAGS and LDFLAGS respectively. The second step: exclude -s from flags ( -s means strip ) If you are able to see source and set the breakpoint, then you probably have debugging symbols established.
