Debugging MythTV
If any of your MythTV programs crash (segfault), you must generate a proper backtrace before submitting a new bug report. Please also see the Ticket HOWTO for more information before submitting a bug report.
Debugging source-based installs
Section 22.2 of the Mythtv Documentation, linked from the MythTV website provides details of debugging source-based installs.
Debugging package-based installs
Note that rather than recompiling to perform the debugging, you may be able to use "debug" packages provided by your packagers. Debug packages simply install the debugging symbols for the already-installed packages you're using, meaning you do not have to uninstall or reinstall MythTV. Often using the debug packages requires enabling a special repo that contains the debug packages.
