build breakpad

On ubuntu:

I have to install autoconf package.

sudo apt-get install autoconf

Get a copy of source code

svn checkout http://google-breakpad.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ google-breakpad-read-only

then the build steps are same as building other projects

 

./configure

make

sudo make install

 

The nice feature of breakpad is that, the client can work with or without out of process server, so I don't need to worry in case the server is not running. 

 

 

    const MINIDUMP_TYPE dumptype = (MINIDUMP_TYPE) (MiniDumpWithFullMemory 

        | MiniDumpWithHandleData | MiniDumpWithUnloadedModules | MiniDumpWithProcessThreadData);

    ExceptionHandler* handler = new ExceptionHandler( dump_file_folder,

        myFilterCallback,

        myMinidumpCallback,

        NULL/*void* callback_context*/,

        ExceptionHandler::HANDLER_ALL,

        dumptype/*MiniDumpNormal MINIDUMP_TYPE dump_type*/,

        kPipeName/*const wchar_t* pipe_name*/,

        NULL/*const CustomClientInfo* custom_info*/);

 

On Windows:

 

D:/src/breakpad>set path=%path%;c:/Python27

D:/src/breakpad>src/tools/gyp/gyp.bat src/client/windows/breakpad_client.gyp

then open D:/src/breakpad/src/client/windows/breakpad_client.sln

add the following preprocessor to VC++ projects (gtest, gmock and client_tests) when building with VC++ 2010

GTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=0
