debugger plugin feature request about the initial command of GDB

<< < (2/5) > >>

ollydbg:
Yes, gdb was not friendly handle windows style path.
I have manually hack the GDB's source code, and adjust the "data-directory" under Win32.  Now, it works OK.

I suppose that we have such file structure
gdb executable is located under:

--- Code: ---PathToMinGW\bin
--- End code ---
and the python script was located under

--- Code: ---PathToMinGW\share\gdb
--- End code ---

the patch can be found in gdb2011-08-08.patch, it includes other windows path handling problem fix.

This fixes the issue, but it's getting to the point where gdb (at least for windows) needs to be heavily customized to play nice with C::B.  Wouldn't an option also be to make the start command for the debugger configurable (or at least allow additional parameters), as per ollydbg's original post?

oBFusCATed:
Yes, I'll add an option, but I guess it won't happen soon.

oBFusCATed:
BTW: have you tried this command: "set data-directory" http://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Data-Files.html ?

just trying to explain how it could be made to work without hacking the code :) most times if not in a posix shell i found that the tools could be made to work if i moved the folders containing data to where the executable is.
