[Bf-committers] Blender build with debug symbol

[JF Gallant]

Hi !
I want to introduce myself. My name is Jean-Francois Gallant and I'm the coder of the addon " Molecular ". I'm not a experienced coder and I learn python by myself. I rewrote my script with cython for the beta release one month ago. Now I need to debug it because I get some crash. I try to use GDB that come with minGW32 ( I use it too for compiling my 32bit version of my addon with cython ) but apparently I need than Blender and it's embedded python interpreter compiled in debug mode ( with debug symbols ). Because I don't have it , I got this kind of information ( see "<<<" mark ) from gdb when it's crash :

It's possible to get a compiled version of Blender win32 (and it's embedded python) in debug mode ? ( I tried to do it myself but without success ).
Thanks to everyone !
