Unable to attach source [message #86549]

I'm attempting to step into a library that I built
with command line tools with make and gcc.

When I step into it, I get C/C++ File Editor message
Source not found.
I press the Attach Source... button,
file system directory
next
browse to the directory where the source is.
Finish

Nothing changes. Still no source.

I'm not sure what the "associate with" part of the
dialog is supposed to do. Anything I can find in the
documentation about associate or attach has to do with
java classes and jar files.

Any help appreciated.
I'm on Solaris 9 and MinGW on WIn XP. Same problem both
places

What is the path that debugger is looking for? Is it the same as you
specified in the "Attach source" dialog?

I'm not sure how to tell what path the debugger is looking for.
I tried browsing to the directory that contains the source
and I tried entering an absolute path to the directory.

When debugger doesn't find a source it displays a special editor with the
"Attach source" button. The message in the editor contains the name of file
the debugger is looking for.

Now I see the path name.

I'm in my home directory and I execute ./eclipse/eclipse
The source I want is in a directory in my home directory.
The path I see in the "Attach source" is a relative path
from my home directory. "src/file.cpp"

I guessed that maybe I needed to start eclipse from the
directory where the executable is. I tried that but it
made no difference. Attach source still says "src/file.cpp"

Does this suggest anything I should try?

Just some further information. I decided to check out that the
GNU tools were set up OK. I wrote a simple make file,
build my test program that uses the shared lib I want to debug,
ran ddd and got in to the shared library OK.

This tells me that I'm doing something - probably trivially - wrong
in eclipse. If I can get eclipse to attach the source for my
shared library, I can begin debugging in earnest.

Any suggestions welcome.

Just add your home directory as an additional source location. On Windows it
should look like "C:\home..", on Solaris - "/home/...". Uncheck the
"Assosciate" option. This should work.

Adding my home directory as a source location worked.
I think this is the final step to getting the system
set up so I can work on my code.

Many Many Thanks.
