# Breakpad
Breakpad is a set of client and server components which implement a
crash-reporting system.
## Getting started in 32-bit mode (from trunk)
```sh
# Configure
CXXFLAGS=-m32 CFLAGS=-m32 CPPFLAGS=-m32 ./configure
# Build
make
# Test
make check
# Install
make install
```
If you need to reconfigure your build be sure to run `make distclean` first.
## To request change review:
1. Get a copy of depot_tools repo.
http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-depot-tools
2. Create a new directory for checking out the source code.
mkdir breakpad && cd breakpad
3. Run the `fetch` tool from depot_tools to download all the source repos.
`fetch breakpad`
4. Make changes. Build and test your changes.
For core code like processor use methods above.
For linux/mac/windows, there are test targets in each project file.
5. Commit your changes to your local repo and upload them to the server.
http://dev.chromium.org/developers/contributing-code
e.g. `git commit ... && git cl upload ...`
