Issue with Standalone debugger and runtime directory [message #1726671]

I am having an issue with the Standalone CDT debugger. It seems that when it starts up, it changes the CWD of it's process to ~/workspace-cdtdebug/Executables. The issue is the program I am trying to debug has command line parameters that are relative paths to the CWD of where I launched the debugger. How can I tell the CDT debugger to set the runtime directory of the process it is launching?

Hi tommy. I was able to reproduce the issue. Could you create a bug in bugzilla for that? https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=CDT

As a workaround, you can go to Run > Debug Configurations. Then select the configuration on the left (it should be names with your executable name). Then on the right pane, select the Arguments tab. At the bottom, you will be able to select a different working directory.

Of course, the best would be if it was set by default to the right thing (the Stand-alone debugger's CWD).
