[Linphone-developers] Debugging Android builds

[Henrik Husted]

Hello

I'm trying to debug an Android build, the C code not Java, but I'm having some troubles getting it to work.

Here's what I've done so far.

1) Clone the Android project

2) Set "NDK_DEBUG=1" in the Makefile

3) Run "make" and "make install"

Everything looks to be building ok and the application is copied to my device.

Then I start up the debugger with the following command: ndk-gdb --start --force

This also seems to work as expected. I can now set breakpoints and continue program execution.

But when my breakpoint is hit then I'm not able to see any variables at all. I can single step in the code all I want.

So what am I missing?
It looks like I haven't made a proper debug build. Perhaps optimization is still enabled somewhere? Or perhaps ndk-gdb doesn't know where to find the symbols?

Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can get C/C++ debugging working on Android?
