Debugging with LLDB

[Gareth Baker]

This may seem like a stupid question but how do you get the dylan-compiler to generate debugging information for LLDB?

Thanks

What I do is create a file called "debug.jam" in the project dir

```

CCFLAGS = -O0 -g ;

include $(SYSTEM_BUILD_SCRIPTS)/$(TARGET_PLATFORM)-build.jam ;

```

and I call the compiler like this

dylan-compiler -build-script debug.jam -build projectname

(someone will correct me if this isn't the right way)

Thanks Pete - I'm now making a bit of progress, at least I get a back-trace even if its limited to the Dylan library at the moment.

Make sure you're using the latest Dylan from git because there were some improvements to the debugging quite recently.

I actually rebuilt Dylan from source a few days ago :-)
