Subject: cygport: how to install package sources for debugging without recompiling?
Date: Thu, 30 May 2019 09:03:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0F7D3B1B3C4B894D824F5B822E3E5A178FD75804@IRSMSX102.ger.corp.intel.com> (raw)
Dear Cygwin Team,
Cygwin setup allows downloading sources of libraries, but the resulting sources are not immediately useful for debugging. One gets a compressed tar archive, some patches and the cygport file. I know that I can expand sources and apply patches with
cyport <package.cygport> prep
which gives me what I need for debugging, just not in the right place. E.g. some MinGW runtime file is searched by gdb (without giving any directory commands) at
/usr/src/debug/mingw64-x86_64-runtime-6.0.0-1/crt/ucrtexe.c
But after above procedure it is in:
/usr/src/mingw64-x86_64-runtime-6.0.0-1.src/mingw64-x86_64-runtime-6.0.0-1.noarch/src/mingw-w64/mingw-w64-crt/crt/ucrtexe.c
Now of cause I can make a script and copy everything I need where it belongs. But as far as I know
cyport <package.cygport> all
would put the sources in the /usr/src/debug folder. But I don't want to recompile everything, I just want to put the sources where gdb can find them. Is there some way to tell cyport to do this? If not this would be a great additional feature for cygport (which is a very convenient tool).
Thanks & best regards,
Michael
