using gdb with Pd-extended on OSX WAS: Re: [PD-dev] Re: file library WAS: [folder_list]

[B. Bogart]

Hey Hans,

Irrespective of any (possible) awkwardness of naming we need to be able
to debug the thing, maybe there are two build options, one for a final
"stable" release, and a different "testing" build that allows debugging.

Ok, so I tried Jamie's instructions here. I used the name
"Pd-0.39.2-extended-test1-pT-CVS" for the .app, and for the executable.

I also changed the CFBundleExecutable flag in Info.plist to the same
name. CFBundleName was not in the plist so I added it, also with the
same name.

After all that renaming gdb behaves the same as it did before, what did
I miss? Do I need to add .app to the name in any of these places? (other
than the obvious name of the .app itself)

Hopefully we're getting there...

.b.
