Ok, I'm most of the way to the stack trace, but I need some help using GDB.
I followed the instructions at the Stack_Trace Wiki and installed MingW and
GDB with apparent success. GDB runs as I think it should in the command
window.
The instructions on the Stack_Trace Wiki say I should do three things:
1. In the cmd window type: set PATH=C:\Program Files\gdb\bin;%PATH%
2. In the cmd window type: gdb "C:\Program Files\gnucash\bin\gnucash"
1. I actually use "Program Files (x86) because that is where GNU cash
sits
2. I'm also on a 64 bit machine running gnucash from a x86 directory.
Does that matter?
3. See below
I do those things and get a gdb prompt. (I don't see gnu cash start. gdb
says it's reading symbols from gnucash, then says "done" and gives me back
the gdb prompt.)
Then I do the third thing which is to run GnuCash and invoke the crash.
This might be where I go wrong because I do that from my Windows desktop
icon and the gdb environment within the command window doesn't seem to
notice. I type the "bt" command in the gdb window after the cnucash crash
and just get "no stack" as the result.
What am I doing wrong? I'm 99% there, I just can't figure out this last bit.
