cd XSRCDIR

cvs -q update -PAd -I - | awk '$1=="?" {print $2}' | xargs rm -f

o How to build something with debug information?
|
||||
----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can use "env CFLAGS=-g make -f Makefile.bsd-wrapper build" to
|
||||
build any module with debugging information, but you'll need to remove
|
||||
XOBJDIR/xorg-config.cache.${MACHINE} before doing that because
|
||||
autoconf caches the value of CFLAGS in its cache.
|
||||
|
||||
o How to get a core file out of the X server?
|
||||
-------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Several things are needed:
|
||||
|
||||
1) set kern.nosuidcoredump=2 in /etc/sysctl.conf
|
||||
2) put
|
||||
|
||||
Option "NoTrapSignals" "true"
|
||||
|
||||
in the "ServerFlags" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If such a section
|
||||
doesn't exist, it can be added as follow:
|
||||
|
||||
Section "ServerFlags"
|
||||
Option "NoTrapSignals" "true"
|
||||
EndSection
|
||||
|
||||
anywhere in the configuration file.
|
||||
|
||||
3) start the X server as root, with the -keepPriv option. A regular
|
||||
user is not allowed to use this option. If you use xdm, you can add
|
||||
the option in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. If you want to use startx, you
|
||||
need to run it as root, like this:
|
||||
|
||||
startx -- /usr/X11R6/bin/X -keepPriv
|
||||
|
||||
Now the X server will dump core when catching a fatal signal. But it
|
||||
will also not be able to restore the text mode on exit. So be prepared
|
||||
to log in remotely (serial terminal or ssh) to reboot your machine or
|
||||
to restart X.
|
||||
|
||||
The core dump will be in /var/crash.
