For instructions +check google-breakpad, but currently it's as easy as: + + ./configure + make + sudo make install + +(the catch: breakpad installs .so into /usr/local/lib, so you might +need some additional tweaking to make it discoverable, for example, +put a soft link into /usr/lib directory). + +Next step is to build v8. Note: you should build x64 version of v8, +if you're on 64-bit platform, otherwise you would get link error when +building oom_dump. + +The last step is to build oom_dump itself. The following command should work: + + cd <v8 working copy>/tools/oom_dump + scons BREAKPAD_DIR=<path to google-breakpad working copy> + +(Additionally you can control v8 working copy dir, but default---../..--- +should work just fine). + +If everything goes fine, oom_dump <path to minidump> should print +some useful information about OOM crash. |
