Hi,

Some fresh news. I know where is the problem with DrMinGW. This one is not loaded at run time because few DLLs require extra debug tools from Microsoft.

 

No i setup the install of DrMinGw with the strict minimum required to catch the backtrace in a text file. The complete DrMinGw is able to open a dialog with this trace. It use the Windows debug tool for that.

Under Windows, with DebugView tool, Look the 3 first lines generated by digiKam at startup :

A crash will be generated in your home directory...

Is the debug window going to show up by itself after a crash?

Hi,

 

The DrMinGW is a dll loaded dynamically at digiKam startup. There is nothing to do from user side...

Hello,

 

I am wondering how do I launch digiKam 6.0.0 on Windows with the DrMinGW debug window.

The option is not listed in "C:\Program Files\digiKam\digikam.exe" -h

 

I tried "C:\Program Files\digiKam\digikam.exe" gdb

and

"C:\Program Files\digiKam\digikam.exe" debug

as well as tried launching gdb.exe from digikam's folder but did not notice any terminal.

Please advise.

 

Thanks,

Andrey
