Wondering if someone could confirm a few details about compiling and debugging under Linux. I'm trying to find a way to debug the ffmpeg code in particular.
I know you can compile XBMC in KDevelop, which gives me a GUI for compiling and more importantly for debugging (command prompt debugging with gdb just doesn't sound like fun
). I'm wondering though if compiling under linux also compiles the ffmpeg source code, or is it like in Windows, where the ffmpeg source code is compiled separately using MingW and linked to dynamically during run time, making debugging almost impossible.
If anyone ever debugged into the ffmpeg code using KDevelop I'd love to hear about it, but at least a better understanding of the compiling process under Linux would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Harry
