• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kevin Parent 2005-07-13 11:37:10 UTC]

If one compiles the source code, there is an option for compiling the module
with debugging enable.  The ebuild doesn't offer the option.

Reproducible: Always

Can you please propose a patch for debugging support?

[Comment 2 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2005-10-15 06:05:16 UTC]

Please tell me how to enable that option or make a patch for the ebuild so that
it offers the option.

From my bashrc:

[[ "$CATEGORY/$PN" == "net-wireless/rt2500" ]] \
	&& export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -DRT2500_DBG"

Alternatively, from /usr/share/doc/rt2500-1.1.0_beta4/TESTING.gz:

Below is information on how you can help out the team with testing
of the rt2500 kernel module.
1. Get the latest source from the CVS tree. Easiest way todo this is to
get the nightly tarball from our website at
        http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt2500-cvs-daily.tar.gz
2. Enable module debugging. Todo this run 'make clean' to remove any
compiled objects you have and then run 'make debug'.
This will recompile the Module with debugging turned on and reinstall
it over your existing module.

Also, the cvs snapshot ebuild in my tree[1][2] uses:

pkg_setup() {
	linux-mod_pkg_setup
	if use_m ; then
		BUILD_PARAMS="-C ${KV_DIR} M=${S}/Module"
		use debug && BUILD_PARAMS="${BUILD_PARAMS} EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DRT2500_DBG"
		BUILD_TARGETS="modules"
	else
		die "please use a kernel >=2.6.6"
	fi
}
