Hi, this is my first post in this forum; I am having problems with the stored debugging information; I have 2 different platforms running gcc 4.1 and 4.6 which behave differently. In one, when I compile a binary using a static library, the source files for the library are stored with their absolute paths. this is useful because gdb then finds the source files automatically. in the 4.1 platform (a rocks cluster with redhat) the source files info is stored only by name, without paths. I know I could try to add the directory for the source files with gdb, the problem is that the library is gsl and the source files are in many subdirectories, making it problematic to specify all of them to gdb. it would be great if I knew how to control whether gcc stores absoulute source paths in the debugging information. is this related to the debug format? when building my binary and gsl, I always use the -g option, but since both platforms are linux they should be using stabs according to the little I read. Anyhow, I hope someone can point me in the right direction... thanks in advance -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/control-debug-information-source-path-tp33044253p33044253.html Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
