Argus 3: Debug & Testing

If you are testing argus 3, the best way is always compile argus source with debug mode on -

Argus -
shell>tar xvzf argus-3.0.5.tar.gz
shell>cd argus-3.0.7.5
shell>touch .devel .debug
shell>./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/argus-3.0.7.5
shell>sudo make && make install

Argus Clients -
shell>tar xvzf argus-clients-3.0.7.25.tar.gz
shell>cd argus-clients-3.0.7.25
shell>touch .devel .debug
shell>./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/argusc-3.0.7.25
shell>sudo make && make install

If argus or its client suite fails to run or behaves wrongly, you can just run them with -D 1-5 depending on the debug information you want. I'm just writing this as note to myself and hopefully it helps others who are using argus as well.
