[Openocd-development] How to build openocd with debug symbols (-g)???

[Brian H. <b.h...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm not quite sure if my gdb is hosed up or if it is my openocd build.
 OpenOCD version is Open On-Chip Debugger
0.5.0-dev-00959-gd6c42bf-dirty (2011-07-18-18:35)

Is there anything special that needs to be done to build openocd with
debug symbols turned on (-g)?

When I do a build, I see the -g option being used and I didn't do
anything special to turn it on.  I'm not an automake expert but I see
that in the Makefile CFLAGS has -g set so I guess that is where it is
getting it so it looks like debug symbols "should" be included to me.

I'm on a Debian amd64 machine and when I do gdb openocd I get the
following output:

hutch@neo:~/openocd/openocd/src$ gdb ./openocd

When I do file I get:
hutch@neo:~/openocd/openocd/src$ file ./openocd
./openocd: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, not
stripped

So I'm kind of stumped as to what the problem is.

Brian
