Hi all,
Finally had a chance to update things on my Windows XP 32 bit build box. Devlibs 53 -> 61 and now current inkscape trunk. I'm observing that the link stage is taking a very, very, Very long time to complete. Many minutes. I do not recall it taking that long previously.
Am I hallucinating or is it really slower than it used to be? Is there an easy way to disable the build for inkview, so that I can at least not have to wait for that progam's equally slow link?
Also I have forgotten the trick to get btool to show what it is doing when it compiles a module. That is, to show the cxx line rather than
compile (modulename)
Finally, gdb seems to be more hit and miss than I remembered. Doing it this way:
gdb file inkscape/inkscape.exe inkscape/inkscape.dbg # set break point here run /c/temp/test2.emf
is doing strange things. The break points will not always set. Sometimes it says that it doesn't see the file (emf-inout.c) and other times that it does not see the line specified. build.xml was modified with -O2 -> -O0, so nothing should have been optimized away. Yet other times, it works as one would expect. Also when it segfaults "bt" is wildly uninformative. For the case at hand it is >600 levels deep and each level is just described by a few numbers - no file or module names are shown.
Thanks,
