[Ves] Debugging VES

[Sishir Jain]

Hi,
    I was able to built ves using Mesa. But on running ctest I got the
following error:

========================================================================

14% tests passed, 6 tests failed out of 7

      6 - TestPointCloud (SEGFAULT)
Errors while running CTest

=======================================================================================

Apart from this error, I am also unable to create a project/workspace using
which I can debug ves. Normally an android project using native code
through jni is debugged by attaching the native source files under jni
folder and using ndk-build to create .so and then ndk-gdb for debugging.
Android.mk is required in this case.

If instead of Android.mk, cmake is to be used for building, could you
please guide in creating a project/workspace where ves can be debugged and
extended (preferably on eclipse) ?

Regards,
Sishir
