[Monodevelop-devel] Linux Remote Debugging

[Peter Siegel]

Hi!

Monodevelop on windows uses the Mono 2.10.6 Runtime and automatically
generates mdb and pdb files.

when running the app on the device i get a stackttrace but with
"filename unkown:0"  But if i run the exe with mono --debug on windows
i get the filename / numbers.

I tried to rebuild the mdb with pdb2mdb on linux which worked ok, but
still no line numbers.

thank you for your help

Peter

On the Linux Box its the same (2.10.6)
