### <a id="debug-requirements"></a> Debug Requirements
Make sure that the debug symbols are available for Icinga 2.
The Icinga 2 packages provide a debug package which must be
installed separately for all involved binaries, like `icinga2-bin`

# zypper install icinga2-bin-debuginfo icinga2-ido-mysql-debuginfo
# apt-get install icinga2-dbg
Furthermore, boost and gcc require their debug symbols installed as well.
Compiled binaries require the `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo` or
`-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug` cmake build flags.
### <a id="development-debug-gdb"></a> GDB
Install gdb:
# yum install gdb
# zypper install gdb
# apt-get install gdb
Install the `boost`, `python` and `icinga2` pretty printers. Absolute paths are required,
so please make sure to update the installation paths accordingly (`pwd`).
Boost Pretty Printers:
$ mkdir ~/.gdb_printers && cd ~/.gdb_printers
$ git clone https://github.com/ruediger/Boost-Pretty-Printer.git && cd Boost-Pretty-Printer
$ pwd
/home/michi/.gdb_printers/Boost-Pretty-Printer
Python Pretty Printers:
$ cd ~/.gdb_printers
$ svn co svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk/libstdc++-v3/python
Icinga 2 Pretty Printers:
$ mkdir -p ~/.gdb_printers/icinga2 && ~/.gdb_printers/icinga2
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Icinga/icinga2/master/tools/debug/gdb/icingadbg.py
Now you'll need to modify/setup your `~/.gdbinit` configuration file.
You can download the one from Icinga 2 and modify all paths.

> path.
