Build Areca to support debug mode

Debug mode requires compiling Areca specifically to enable this development feature.

Add the -Ddebug=on argument to the above compilation commands. debug can be set to either on or off (default value) but you do not need to add -Ddebug=off to the off setting;

Note: You can only use breakpoints if you have already compiled Areca with -Ddebug=on; otherwise, you may only be able to catch exceptions.

Windows platform

• ant windows-x86-64 -Ddebug=on
• ant windows-x86-32 -Ddebug=on

Linux platform

• ant linux-x86-64 -Ddebug=on
• ant linux-x86-32 -Ddebug=on

Troubleshooting

It caused by missing or wrong setting of jni.h.dir and jni_md.h.dir which are files that are provided by the JDK.
