Well, 'core' is a real file, somewhere, and it has to be produced (by allowing configuration) and properly pathed for gdb to open it. The dying process puts it in $PWD/core. Once gdb is up, 'where' will get you down to a subroutine. Of course, you need source and it helps if the compile options and lack of stripping make the crashing object easy to debug. Sometiems fate is cruel, and it only bombs if you compile it without symbols! There is also running it under truss/tusc/strace to get some idea of what calls preceded the crash.

progen

PROGEN(1)						      General Commands Manual							 PROGEN(1)

NAME

       progen - create project files for tmake(1)

SYNOPSIS

       progen [options] [C/C++ header/source files]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the progen command.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it has documentation in HTML format; see below.

       The progen(1) utility creates tmake(1) project files.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -lower Lower-case letters in filenames (useful on Windows).

       -n name
	      Specify a project name (TARGET).

       -o file
	      Write output to file instead of stdout.

       -t file
	      Specify a template file.

EXAMPLE

       The progen(1) utility can be used like this:

	      progen -n hello -o hello.pro

       If no .cpp or .h files are specified on the command line, progen(1) searches for .cpp and .h (except moc_*.cpp) in  the	current  directory
       and below.

SEE ALSO

       The  full  documentation  for  progen  is  maintained  as  an  HTML manual, located in /usr/share/doc/tmake/html/, and is available through
       dhelp(1), Debian's help system.

AUTHOR

       This manual page was written by Dwayne C. Litzenberger <dlitz@dlitz.net>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
