Problems Ktigcc(compiling programs)

hakin9 · 11-30-2007, 09:57 AM

I install Ktigcc from source and was able to start the gui on the command line. But when I try to compile a program on it. It freezes on me(not the computer it's continuously compiling).

I'm not sure if I installed it right or if I am missing some step (for example like linking a file).

Run it in a terminal and see what kind of errors it gives you. If that doesn't work compile it with fewer optimization flags and with the '-g' option for debug, then attach 'gdb' to it or load it in 'gdb'. i.e.

Code:

gdb ktigcc
# now within the gdb shell, it should say '(gdb)', type
start

the program should start, then use the program normally and when it crashes, gdb will tell you what went wrong (you may not understand what it's saying, but if you post it here or to the maintainers of the program, someone might).

This is what I got from the gdb shell

Code:

(gdb) start
Breakpoint 1 at 0x80606a4: file ktigcc.cpp, line 73.
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/ktigcc

73      int main(int argc, char *argv[])

Well, this tells you exactly where the program crashes in its execution, "file ktigcc.cpp, line 73.", and the state when it crashed,

Code:

main (argc=1, argv=0xbfabb604) at ktigcc.cpp:73
73      int main(int argc, char *argv[])

This kind of info should probably be posted to the maintainers of the program, they will be more able to help.
