nix

• Compile the program with the -g option, this causes the compiler to generate an augmented symbol table.
• $gdb [program] [core-dump]
• gdb options:

-d dir

Tell gdb to look in dir for source files. Ex: gdb –d /work/phase1 –d /work/phase2 foo.

• By default, make looks first for a makefile named makefile, then it looks for Makefile.
• A simple example: two targets, stimulate and stimulate.db

# A very simple makefile.
# Lines beginning with # are comments.
# Targets begin at the left margin, followed by : .
