Debugging

[Yarcanox]

When compiling the irrlicht engine/irrklang engine (I included them both) with -g for debuginfo (to view the source code in gdb/ddd), I get the following error:

g++ -I./include -I/usr/X11R6/include -g -O3 -ffast-math bagaioseph.cpp -o ./game -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L./lib -lIrrlicht -lGL -lGLU -lXxf86vm -lXext -lX11 -I"./irrKlang/include" -L"/usr/lib" ./irrKlang/bin/linux-gcc/irrKlang.so -pthread
'++: unrecognized option '-pthread
./irrKlang/bin/linux-gcc/irrKlang.so: undefined reference to `pthread_create'

Because I got a segmentation fault...

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread -1223293200 (LWP 11000)]
0x0804eeb8 in main ()
(gdb) cont

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb)

...I'd like to know if it is my fault or an Irrlicht bug, and I have no idea how to do this without being able to view the line where the error happened in gdb/ddd.

EDIT: PS: btw: compiling works fine without the -g option without any error messages - but of course I don't have the debug info then

'++: unrecognized option '-pthread

Try what happens if you add this as -l option like: -lpthread

[Yarcanox]

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpthread

EDIT: platform is ubuntu linux. and it works fine with -pthread as I wrote above - if I don't use -g at the same time

As said on IRC: There's no such switch so you're doing something wrong. If irrKlang needs pthreads you have to link against it, and therefore use -lpthreads. If it does not find the library you have to add a link path via -L

[Yarcanox]

So why has the developer of irrKlang added exactly this switch to the example makefile? And why doesn't it work anymore when removing this switch?

It seems to me that this switch exists, but somehow it doesn't like -g :/ and I need -g to find out where I have this ugly segmentation fault

[Yarcanox]

I found the segmentation fault with several printf-lines and fixed it. The -g thingy is nevertheless interesting... @hybrid I'll try out your suggestion (-L), maybe it helps.
