As for debugging: the website says to run "gdb
--symbols=inkscape.dbg inkscape", however this does not work for me. I use "gdb" and then in gdb I must enter: "file inkscape.exe inkscape.dbg" (note that the order in which the filenames are typed is essential). Then one must enter "run" to run the prog, etc. (I think it is most clear to explicitly write to enter "run" on the website).
Maybe the ".exe" is needed? This works for me: c:\inkscape>gdb --symbols=inkscape.dbg inkscape.exe (gdb) r
I meant that it does not load the symbols file (I do not know the reason; it _should_ work). So it does run inkscape but will not load the symbols, which prevents usefull backtraces.
And... while I am busy: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32_inkscape_org/win32buildnotes.html needs to be updated for the current buildtool. This helps
new developers tremendously.
Yeah, I started on a docbook file, but never finished. I should work on this today.
Cool, thanks!
