libbacktrace-b9e400

Introduction to libbacktrace

The libbacktrace package provides a library that produces backtraces with symbolic information.

Apply a patch so that a Pkg-config file is generated for the library:

patch -Np1 -i ../libbacktrace-b9e400-pkgconfig-1.patch

Regenerate the autoconf files to ensure they're new:

autoreconf -fi

Install libbacktrace by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr    \
            --disable-static \
            --enable-shared &&
make

Now, as the root user:

make install

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

--enable-shared: This option tells the build system to build shared libraries as building them is disabled by default.
