Dear Ubuntu/Linux User's,

I would like to get some help from you people, to help me in using the debugger like Eclipse, GDB with DDD or anykind of debugger for using with big Open source software's like Wireshark.

I am currently working with an Open source IDS project Suricata!. https://redmine.openinfosecfoundatio...ata_User_Guide

I want to debug this software, I followed some instructions like while compiling, --enable debug options to be given. Later when i tried to open the executable file or the source file. It says no debugging symbols have been found.

Also while giving the command Make. What is the use of " make -d " to make it with debugging support.

Kindly give some insight about, debugging big Open Source softwares.. its very hard to work with them. Since its written on C.
