[Pharo-project] [Vm-dev] Debugging Cog crash

[Schwab,Wilhelm K]

Is there a debug version of Cog that I can run on the box?  I have casually avoided learning how to build Cog in part because that means I can't hack the FFI plugin, which forces me to play by the rules on library paths/ldconfig, etc.  It also means that I don't have a build environment ready to go, so I can't readily add syslog() calls to bracket where it quits.  gdb isn't helping as described below.

If there is something you want me to try, let me know.  We have a reproducible Cog crash.

Levente,

I follow on why my shell script did not work.  Your instructions got me going, but we still don't have an answer.  The vm is running, but I cannot attach:

>From what I read, one answer is the get the image loaded and then attach - my problem is that the vm never gets far enough to actually load the image.

Any ideas?
