Differences between revisions 3 and 4

Check if the package has a debugging version available. In general, debugging packages will be named with a -dbg suffix
If not, you can generally* build one this way:
1. Install the build-time dependencies for the package:
```
sudo apt-get build-dep <package>
```
2. Build .debs for debugging:
```
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip noopt" sudo apt-get source -b <package>
```
3. Install the needed .debs (they will be in the current working directory if the build succeeded):
```
sudo dpkg --install <package.deb>
```

Start the program under control of gdb:

gdb <program>
(gdb) handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint
(gdb) run <arguments, if any>

* most of the packages support the build of debugging version in this way. If that doesn't work for a package you can open a bug against it.
