this is for perl port... supply -DDEBUGGING option to make when building/installing, along w/ "-g" to the compiler. one way to do that is to edit /etc/make.conf such that CFLAGS has "-g" assigned to it... # in /etc/make.conf CFLAGS= -O -pipe -g ...you can also edit the perl port Makefile if you like to include both options. mind you that perl5.6 port w/ "-DDEBUGGING" option alone didn't build w/ the debugging support the last time i tried. "-g" option was necessary in addition. - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
