About the svn-head builds posted on inkscape.modevia.com: are these done automatically or is building manually initiated? (just out of curiosity) More seriously: the quoted time of the build is that PST, CET or...? :) (it can be important when people want to test after bugfixes)
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).
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.
Thanks for your efforts! Johan

I can only speak for the ones I do. I previously was using my local time, GMT-6, but now I do a bit of addition and put GMT on them.

Maybe the ".exe" is needed? This works for me: c:\inkscape>gdb --symbols=inkscape.dbg inkscape.exe (gdb) r

Yeah, I started on a docbook file, but never finished. I should work on this today.

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.

Cool, thanks!
