This page outlines the debugging options available for lxbuild.

Here is the actual strace command that lxbuild runs:

strace -f -v -e trace=execve,chdir,fchdir,chroot,rename,fork,vfork,clone -e abbrev=none -s 4096 -o mylattix.trace <build-command>

Usage

Examples:

lxbuild -i lattix.trace -x

-x option will create 2 files:

out.csv - This is a CSV file that contains the forked process commands and arguments

simple.csv - This is a CSV file similar to the above, except it only contains the forked commands that lxbuild understands (compile and link commands)

lxbuild -i lattix.trace -prune

-prune will create a pruneed version of lattix.trace called prune.txt

The following additional undocumented arguments are available for lxbuild:

Name	Description
-x	Create csv file with commands and arguments from trace file. File is named out.csv
