[Freeswitch-dev] Debugging Question

[Mathieu Rene]

Hi,

FreeSWITCH builds with debug symbols with the default configuration,  
but the source file has to be in the same path as when it was compiled.
If you wouldnt have debug symbols in, it wouldn't know the file &  
location of the function you are trying to see.
