I've been having some problems with nmbd (in samba). I want to do step through it to see why it is failing, but can't quite figure out getting symbols.
I changed debian/rules to add --with-debug to the configure step, rebuilt, and installed. No symbols. I commented out dh_strip and went though it again. Looks good: # file /usr/sbin/nmbd /usr/sbin/nmbd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped But gdb still says no: # gdb (gdb) file /usr/sbin/nmbd Reading symbols from /usr/sbin/nmbd...(no debugging symbols found)...done. So, how do a rebuild this thing such that I can debug it? ~mark
