Hi all,
I'm a new CDT user and have just gotten CDT to work the way I want in an auto-tools project with an out-of-source build as explained in this forum thread.
My problem now is that when debugging with gdb, CDT only loads then main source into gdb; it doesn't load sources from the shared library code. Specifically, project structure is:
./
./libtest/libtest.c
./exampleProgram/exampleProgram.c
I can set breakpoints in functions defined in exampleProgram.c and step into code there, but when I try to set breakpoints to functions in libtest.c, the GDB console logs an error:
No source file named /path/to/workspace/test/libtest/libtest.c
Now the path is actually correct. The difference is that this is part of the shared library. Any idea why the symbols for it are not loaded?
Update
I should mention that when I use static linking (reconfigured project with --disable-shared option) then it works fine. So I am using this as a workaround, but now my question is: can CDT Autotools run against the shared library build? I would've expected it to be able to use libtool script for this purpose. Or is that not an option (i.e. for debugging one MUST use statically linked binaries)?
Update 2
Looks like an open bug is already filed for using libtool. As a workaround, the bug mentions setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I was actually using this, before I switched to a static binary (specifically I was setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH since I am using OS X Mavericks) but still the shared library sources where not available...
