no line numbers in backtraces on Mac OS X?

Hi,

Is it normal that there are no source line numbers in backtraces on Mac OS?
Despite many patches to winedbg etc., the backtraces I get are
no better that those from 1.1.24 times.
  18 0x41f5b2a1 _OpenDriverA+0x51() in winmm (0x0032ce78)
  19 0x4041467f _initAudioDlg+0x75f() in winecfg (0x0032dc28)

I'm using configure + make to build.  On Linux, the line numbers help
a lot in locating bogus code.

Thank for your help,
    Jörg Höhle.

we miss dwarf support on mac
it's likely the cause here (if you can, you can try to compile with stabs,
it should work)
(there's an open bug in bugzilla for this)
A+

Right now on Mac, you have to configure with -gstabs+. DbgHelp doesn't
support DWARF on Mac OS yet. (It doesn't know how to find the .dSYM
bundle or the original object files.)

You're welcome.

Or you could just use gdb for debugging instead of winedbg. Just attach gdb to 
the running process.

True, but gdb lacks information about PE-format modules that winedbg has.
