在Linux Mint 19下从哪里提取wxWidgets的源代码（.cpp文件）以进行内部调试？

Question

I have successfully installed the wxWidgets v3.1.1 banaries from CodeLite's website Here

The problem is the installation has no .cpp files for step inside debugging. So I had to download the source code to get the .cpp files.

My question is where to extract them in the system?

Thank you.

You can extract them anywhere you want, just use gdb directory command to add the path to this directory to the list of directories that gdb searches for the source files.

You can also find set substitute-path gdb command useful when using binaries from a different system.
