Set debug flags in Makefile.am

I have a program that now is throwing a Segmentation fault error message when I execute it, but I do not know in which line is breaking.

My program use Makefile.am files to build it.

Where can I set debug flags to compile (i.e. -g flag) in this autotools files.

It depends. If your program is built using the C compiler, you need something like

./configure CFLAGS="-g" ...

If it was built with the C++ compiler you need something like

./configure CXXFLAGS="-g" ...

If you're using libtool to link the program doing something like:

./libtool --mode=execute gdb ./program

will start gdb.
