hello all..

i built a complicated external and needed to debug it. i wanted to use gdb debugger (i m under linux) and since I found no info about how to find the external s "mounting" adress which gdb requires, i m currently compiling pure data extended as a whole plus my source code added.. so I ve added myexternal_setup() function in m_conf.c and I referenced my source files in the makefile.in file of the src directory..

gdb seems to work fine appart that it seems to jump portions of code without reason.. so i m wondering if thats not caused by optimisation arguments given to the gcc compiler when building.. i ve noticed the -O2 options in a few make/config files which are generated automaticaly after the "make install" command... where can i specify that i want thoses files to be generated so as to include a "no compilation" option (for example the -O0 option if i'm correct)??

i ve searched a long time.. any idea, or hint to where to look would be of great help.. thanks in advance..

cheers
