I am student and I am looking for a way to debug inkscape, I have followed the instructions of the Debugging Tips for OS X and the CompilingMacOsX.

The compilation works, I execute this line "Inkscape.app/Contents/ MacOS/inkscape" every things is right but when I try to put a breakpoint in a source file like in main.cpp, gdb display that:

No source file named main.cpp. Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])

I have try to change the source directory, with the command directory [path] but nothing change.

I don't know what can I do to solve my problem. I am working on MacOS 10.5.

Great to know you are working on Inkscape on the mac!

The debug problem occurred before and it should be in the archive of the mailing list. However, I am not sure there was a solution in the end. One way that can work (well, should actually) is to do this the linux way, i.e. compile Inkscape without --enable-osxapp and install it to wherever you like (e.g. the default "Build" directory in the source tree, etc.), then start Inkscape from the command line, from the bin directory hence created (e.g. in Build/bin/ by default). This should be OK to develop/debug Inkscape features that are not related to the packaging process. If you need to debug something that happens only when Inkscape is packaged... then I am not sure how to proceed sorry :/
