Hello!
Thomas may already have seen this in the commit logs of ctvdr. I would
like to let vdr also create a vdr-dbg package.
This package should install the binary vdr-dbg, which is an unoptimized
vdr with full debug symbols. Besides this vdr-dbg will contain one or
more helper scripts to run vdr with the gdb debugger.
In Addition to vdr-dbg, vdr-dev will install a script
vdrdbg-buildpackage, which is doing something like this:
---
#!/bin/sh
export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="$DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS nostrip"
cp /usr/share/vdr-dev/Make.debug /usr/inlcude/vdr/Make.config
dpkg-buildpackage $*
rm /usr/include/vdr/Make.config
---
With vdrdbg-buildpackage it will then be possible, to compile a plugin
for debugging too. The plugin packages must be prepared for this, but
most already are, because they are based on Klaus' standard Makefile.
What do you think about this?
