Comment 2 for bug 1014872

Any idea who might be able to help guide me with this?

I haven't had luck yet compiling mysql-server with debug symbols. Although I've added -DWITH_DEBUG=1 to debian/rules build, when dh_strip runs it says that the packages have already been stripped. ddebs are not being built in /var/cache/pbuilder/result/. Based on that I think -DWITH_DEBUG=1 isn't taking effect. I confirmed -DWITH_DEBUG=1 is the correct option (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman//5.5/en/compiling-for-debugging.html). Any thoughts?

Here's the steps I'm taking:

# apt-get source mysql-server

Add -DWITH_DEBUG=1 to debian/rules

# grep -C2 DEBUG mysql-5.5-5.5.24/debian/rules
            -DWITH_ARCHIVE_STORAGE_ENGINE=ON \
            -DWITH_BLACKHOLE_STORAGE_ENGINE=ON \
            -DWITH_DEBUG=1 \
            -DWITH_FEDERATED_STORAGE_ENGINE=ON \
                -DWITH_EXTRA_CHARSETS=all ..'

# pbuilder create --debootstrapopts --variant=buildd
# pbuilder --update --extrapackages pkg-create-dbgsym
# pbuilder build mysql-5.5_5.5.24-0ubuntu0.12.04.1.dsc 2>&1 | tee /tmp/pbuildlog

# grep strip /tmp/pbuildlog
