Debugger under Gentoo

[moloh]

Hello!
And new problem arise. After few days of fight with codeblocks i got to test the debugger and it doesn't work. Problem? no sources found whe set a breakpoint, You use relative paths to set breakpoints. May i ask why? Could You use the absolute path? I tried on gdb 6.3 and 6.4 available in Gentoo Portage but no luck. Any ideas what can i do to make it work?

As i made some testing problem is exactly as this: Breakpoint can be created (file is found) if they are in the root directory of project (like in templates), but when i use more complicated project structure (like use of src directory where i hold sources and headers) then "no sources found" messege is issued by gdb for source file where breakpoint should be created(like "src/main.c"). Anyone have an idea how can i overcome this problem?

Hi - I had the same problem (all my source files are in src/ and below...) and created a patch that seems to solve the problem (for me, at least):

Using the ebuild from this post: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-440412.html you can create a file called something like 99_all_gdb-path.patch and just drop it in your /usr/local/portage/dev-util/codeblocks/files/patches directory, re-digest the ebuild, and then re-emerge.

Hope it helps...

Thanks.
This is exactly what i need, but for now i was to lazy to search for this and maintain this patch on my own overlay.

Any other idea how this can be done without sources hacking? The resolution is nice, but rather problematic for wide use.
