Using GDB with Vega Strike

This page provides information on how to use GDB to help debug Vega Strike.

Debugging Process

Game Compilation

  • First you have to configure vegastrike with the --enable-debug option in addition to your other options:
./configure <your other parameters> --enable-debug
  • Then make your Vega Strike binary:
make

Please make sure you have enough disk space available before doing this. Compiling Vega Strike with --enable-debug eats up a huge amount of disk space.

Run GDB

  • Start gdb (GNU Debugger):
gdb /path/to/vegastrike
  • Start the game.
  • Type this into the gdb-console:
run
  • When the error occurs or it dies type
print *this
backtrace full
up
print *this
up
print *this
