Hi,
yes, "make app" strips the binaries by default.
Since autotools/libtool is incredibly slow on Windows, I typically only do "make app" once in the beginning; in my IDE I have a added a custom build step "cp ./src/pd.dll ./pd-0.x.x/bin" that just copies the (unstripped) Pd DLL into the bin folder (assuming I only want to test/debug the Pd core and not one of the externals in "extra").
Cheers,
Christof

Hello everyone,
I have been struggling a few days to achieve using gdb on msys2 mingw64. In case anyone is interested, here is how I finally succeed in using gdb. Note that I am a newbee on both autotools and pd so maybe there is a much more straightforward way to do so.
Edit msw/Makefile.am to add -n for non stripping binaries : ... $(SH) $(top_srcdir)/msw/msw-app.sh -n --sources --builddir $(top_builddir) $(VERSION) ...
Type following commands $ ./autogen.sh $ cd build $ ../configure --enable-debug CFLAGS="-g" $ make $ make app
The generated pd.exe in pd-0.53.1 directory correctly execute but with no symbol in it. To retrieve symbol use libtool --mode=execute as follows :
$ libtool --mode=execute gdb --args pd-0.53.1/bin/pd.exe ... Reading symbols from pd-0.53.1/bin/pd.exe... (gdb) b main Breakpoint 1 at 0x140001464: file ../../src/s_entry.c, line 30. (gdb)
And this is it !
