How to generate symbol file when building VoltDB?

[Xinyu Wang]

I can only find jnilib or so file after building VoltDB. But I want to generate the symbol file. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Xinyu,

You can clone the VoltDB repository and build the community edition by following the instruction below on Linux.

https://github.com/VoltDB/voltdb/wiki/Building-VoltDB

Once it finishes building successfully, you can find the symbol file in obj/release/ directory. The file has the extension .sym. For convenience, you can also use the shared library with symbols included in the obj/release/nativelibs/ directory.

Thanks for your answer, Ning.

Based on my test, I cannot find the .sym file after I build VoltDB. However, the .sym file can be generated after I run "ant dist". I think I can use that file. Thanks.
