[Kdenlive-devel] Need to debug 0.9 problems

[Doran L. Barton]

I've installed 0.9 from git and have been playing with it. So far, it's been 
exciting to see some of the new features, but I've run into some problems 
trying to work on a project I created with a prior build. 

I'm getting a crash with "Application: Kdenlive (kdenlive), signal: Floating 
point exception" when I do various tasks like select a video clip in the 
timeline or try to add a Pan/Zoom effect to another clip. 

I looked at the developer wiki to see what I need to do to debug this. The 
KdenliveBuilder wiki page seems like it would be helpful, but the 
kdelive_builder.sh tool is quite out of date (pulls from SVN, my gosh) and 
does not work. 

It's been several years since I've done any C or C++ development. I know I 
need to use gdb to step through the app, but I need to enable debugging 
symbols and I don't remember how to do that. 

Or, if there's an easy way to figure out from the KDE crash handler where in 
the code this floating point exception is occuring, I suppose that'd get me 
moving in the right direction.

FWIW, I'm running on Fedora 16, 64-bit, qt 4.8.1.
