[...] Adding a package to buildroot is easy, but in this case we will have to find a way to extract all symbols from the target binaries, before they get stripped. My idea was to add a new target to the Makefile, just before "target-finalize:" and check against an option in the config like: ifeq ($(BR2_ENABLE_BREAKPAD),y) TARGETS+=target-generate-breakpad-symbols endif and then: target-generate-breakpad-symbols: extract symbols and deploy result to output/images Is this basically the way to go, or is there a better way to achieve this? regards, pascal -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
