Hi, Try ./configure CFLAGS='-g -O0'. I've used this to get a debug build.

How can I make a debug build to get more accurate debugging information? I checked configure script. It seems that by default debug is already enabled, but I have to admit that I am new to linux, and do not quite understand things like configure, and makefile generation.
