Howdy, list.
I can't figure out how to get winedbg (6/18/03 build) to load my application's symbol table. I am writing an ELF application which uses the wine libraries, and trying to debug it with winedbg.
I can run that program fine, but when it loads the shared library built by winebuild (rm-host.exe.so) it says that there is no debug information in the ELF shared library. The file is built with -g, and 'nm' shows symbols galore.
I tried using the 'symbolfile' command. The docs suggest that it would help, but I can't figure out what sort of 'path' argument it wants. Here's what I typed:
Wine-dbg>symbolfile /home/most/src/rm-host/x86/rm-host.exe.so Parse error Wine-dbg>symbolfile F:\src\rm-host\x86\rm-host.exe.so Parse error
Any suggestions? By the way has anyone got a GUI front end to winedbg in the works (ala kdbg for gdb)? I'd love to ge my hands on it.

PS: Sorry if this isn't the right forum, perhaps it's not a developer topic. But I can't find any other useful resources.

you're using gcc >= 3.2, aren't you ? you need to compile with -gstabs. Default debug format changed in latest gcc versions from stabs to dwarf2. WineDbg supports the former but not the later.

Great, thanks! And it looks like gdb 5.2.1 has no problem with stabs format, or with mixed dwarf and stabs formats.
So, has anyone looked into adapting, say, kdbg, to run winedbg commands?
Cheers (you made my day!) ... mo
