Hi,

I have some problems with firefox (it just don't
start - as well as openoffice.) I think it is a
broken lib - but though I recompiled all the libs
it still does not work.
Now I'll do it the right way and use gdb but until
now I had no success compiling a binary of firefox
(or regxpcom which also hangs) with debug symbols

I tried " make DEBUG=on LOGGING=on" but this produced
also only the stripped binaries.

So - how can I build firefox (form the ports) with
debug symbols?

Thank you,
  Martin L.
