Description Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-09-05 03:14:04 UTC 
1/ install devel/gdb with GDB_LINK (default)
2/ prefer /usr/local apps in PATH

$ PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH crashinfo
Unable to find matching kernel for /var/crash/vmcore.1

$ echo 'printf "  Version String: %s", version' | /usr/local/bin/gdb -x /dev/stdin -batch /boot/kernel/kernel

I'm working on fixing crashinfo to use devel/gdb when it is available.

Log:
  Update crashinfo to work with newer gdb from ports.

  If gdb from ports is installed, use it instead of the base system gdb
  to extract variables from a kernel.  Note that base gdb and ports gdb
  do not support the same options for invoking a single command in batch
  mode, so a wrapper shell function is used.  In addition, prefer kgdb
  from ports when generating a backtrace if present.
