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 Vega Strike 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
