Problem with own makefile and GDB is back again

Hi,

Some months ago I posted this problem with an own makefile and breakpoints:

http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=4064

One nice day I downloaded the nightly build CB_20061109_rev3197. There the source files were given relative when C::B sets a breakpoint. So it actually solved my problem. Now I downloaded a new nightly build and the problem is there again. Under the advanced compiler options I found now an option "Use Full Paths for source files (GDB workaround)". But this options doesn't change this behavior. Is there anything I could do or should I stick to the old version?

Thank you,
Kai

Others have found that removing spaces and special chars from filenames solves these problems.

Thank you for this tip. I tried it (removed the '+' from the path) but it didn't change. I think the problem is that in my makefile only relative paths are used. And it seems that GDB can't convert them to absolute paths.

Is there an update regarding this issue because I'm experiencing the same thing.  As soon as I try to use my own Makefile I can longer debug and breakpoints don't get hit.  The actual error message I get is:


--- Code: ---Debugger name and version: GNU gdb 5.2.1
No source file named C:/source/qt2/main.cpp.
--- End code ---

I'm using Qt, so if I don't use the custom makefile, I can debug, but then my resource files don't get included properly.  Kind of a catch-22.

Jachyra:
Never mind...I can see that this was a gdb issue and not a CB issue.  Upgraded to the most recent version of gdb and now everything works like a charm.
