Yeah, I just mean that using LD_LIBRARY_PATH or whatever is still a lot easier than realizing you don't have the debug info at all, and trying to rebuild an identical binary or library with debug. I definitely want the changes to build and install the symbol files in the FreeBSD tree. I don't have a huge concern over the exact path we pick. -Ed _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
