About GDB setup.

[Emistry]

erm, I need some help regarding the GDB.

http://herc.ws/wiki/index.php?title=GDB#Using_gdb_with_Hercules

I have read the guide here many times, yet I still cant make it work. 

I am not sure which steps I have missing, or did wrongly.

My steps to use GDB :

1. navigate to the Hercules trunk folder
   
2. type this command ulimit -u unlimited./athena-start restart // startup server
   
3. Wait until the crash happened, then type this command

   gdb map-server map-server.core        // assume it's map-server crashed.

4. I get this output once I enter the command above.                  
   
5. 
6. then I type the command and it show "No Stack"  
   
   
   

Can you guys correct me ?

I also did compile the server using this commands  before I start using the GDB.

./configure --enable-debug=gdb --disable-ltomake cleanmake sql

and lastly, if the GDB ever success to record the dump, where can I find the dump file that contain the crash information ??

> gdb ./map-server(gdb) r< wait until it crash >(gdb) bt full

oh I see. thx for the guide.

normally where would the file stored?

would it still work if I type the command while the map-server is still running ?

It would just be named "core", and it'll be on the trunk directory. So your previous command should've worked, but instead of gdb map-server map-server.core you'll just have to type gdb map-server core.

Hi Emistry, I'm having the same problem, could you share how you were able to see the core dumps using their tips? I can't seem to locate where the map-server logs is stored.
