Compiling

Compiling edb is generally quite simple. edb currently depends on the following packages:

• GCC >= 4.6 (Perhaps older will work as well, haven't tried)
• Qt >= 4.6
• Boost >= 1.35

Many distributions already have packages that satisfy these.

Once you have Qt installed, it is as simple as

$ qmake
$ make

This will build the debugger along with all plugins I have written. On certain systems your qmake make be named slightly differently, I've noticed that the Fedora Core rpms name it qmake-qt4.

If you are planning on doing a make install, you likely want to specify the default plugin path, here's how you would do that.

$ qmake -makefile DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/lib/edb/"
$ make
