David,

I followed the instruction but when I execute the following command:

gdb /home/ran/easytag/easytag

I get the following:

How do I configure and compile with backtrace support?

I might have fixed the crash that you experienced, so you should try the latest changes on the branch (probably with a "git pull --rebase").

For debugging, you need to make sure that "-g" is part of the compiler flags, which is generally the case by default. If it is not, you can set the flags when building using something like:

make CFLAGS="-g" CXXFLAGS="-g"

Then, run with "gdb easytag" (or ./easytag if running from the working directory), and if you get a crash then enter "thread apply all bt" and paste the output.

There is a bit more guidance on the GNOME wiki:
